Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.’”
(Ezekiel 3:27)

This is eye-opening, Jesus!

You don’t want me to waste Your time
trying to force people to pay attention to You.

I need to tell them about You as clearly and accurately as I can

then leave the results to You.

If they listen, they’re in!

If they refuse
they excluded themselves.

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly skepticism:

“In these records you will find that this city is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place with a long history of sedition. That is why this city was destroyed. We inform the king that if this city is built and its walls are restored, you will be left with nothing in Trans-Euphrates.”
(Ezra 4:15-16)

This was a setup by the enemies of Your people, Jesus!

Next time somebody attempts to trash someone to me

remind me to ask You:

Why would they want to do that?

Pray this Lazaroo on high alert:

“…the people…have gone to Jerusalem and are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city. They are restoring the walls and repairing the foundations. Furthermore, the king should know that if this city is built and its walls are restored, no more taxes, tribute or duty will be paid, and eventually the royal revenues will suffer.”
(Ezra 4:12-13)

I wish I could always tell when somebody’s lying, Jesus

‘cause that’s what these guys were doing.

Please draw me close

so I can hear Your whisper of warning.

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“Do not be afraid of them or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

When anyone else tells me not to be terrified

they’re wasting their breath, Jesus.

Fear is an automatic response to such people.

But when You tell me not to be afraid of them, that’s different.
You’re telling me You will protect me.

The better I know You, the more clearly I understand:

There’s absolutely no reason for me to be afraid.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled zeal:

“I have been most rebellious.”
(Lamentations 1:20)

That’s quite a confession, Jesus…

especially because of who’s making it.

This is no rapist, murderer, pillager, criminal.

The great prophet Jeremiah is speaking!

He’s the one who faithfully obeyed You throughout his life –

and suffered greatly for it.

He’s the one You appointed over nations and kingdoms –

to tear down, destroy, build and plant.

If he could be this humble and self-aware of his sins

who am I to be less?

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“They all march in line…”
(Joel 2:7)

It’s bad enough when my enemies show up one at a time, Jesus.

But when a horde of them lines up against me?

Not good.

Of course, this was a plague of locusts sent by You

against Your chronically rebellious people.

So as long as I stay obedient to You

I won’t have to face that fearsome sight.

Or if I do, I can remain confident

knowing You will surely rescue me.
