Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. But you are a chosen people…”
(1 Peter 2:8-9)

I hardly know what to do with this, Jesus.

To think that some people are destined to reject You
seems so unfair.

But to think that You chose and destined me to accept You?
That’s awesome!

Bottom line?

I trust You!
Your ways are far superior to mine.

And I am beyond grateful

to be included in Your wholly undeserved, unfathomable love!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,’ and, ‘A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.’”
(1 Peter 2:7)

You’re that Stone, Jesus!

It’s unthinkable to me that anyone rejected You then

or can reject You now.

But You know those who are Yours.

I don’t know why You’ve chosen me
but I am grateful beyond all words!

Pray this Lazaroo in determined passion:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom…”
(Colossians 1:28)

It’s important to declare Your Name to our family, friends, city, nation and world, Jesus!

But having done so, it’s essential to admonish them
warning of the consequences if they reject You.

It’s vital that we teach them all about You
so they’ll learn to love and obey You as we do.

But the only way they’ll accept what we say

is when we speak with Your holy wisdom!

Pray this Lazaroo in heartbroken realization:

“…even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.”
(1 John 2:18)

It’s true, Jesus.

The number of people who reject You is growing exponentially.

There was a time when people who committed evil acts were ashamed.

They hid what they did and when confronted
either denied it or repented.

No more.

Increasingly, they flaunt Your Word and openly celebrate their sin.

Only You know whether this is the last hour

or the last minute.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered attention:

“…God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell…”
(2 Peter 2:4)

Instructive, Jesus.

Obviously, You’re telling me this for a reason.

It’s not just to inform me of an historical event, is it?

You want me to take note…
and apply the lesson.

I’m pretty sure this is it:

There’s a hell reserved for those who listen to Satan
and reject You.

Message received and recorded.
Lesson absorbed.

Deep breath…

…ready for the test.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…the people…came to him from everywhere”
(Mark 1:45)

There’s a simple reason for that, Jesus:

You created every one of them.

They’re all Yours –

those who know You and embrace it
those who reject You and deny it.

Red yellow, black, brown and white

they are precious in Your sight.
You love all the people of the world.

That’s why You died on the cross

paying for the sins of everyone who trusts in You.

Whosoever will.
Even me.

Pray this Lazaroo with determined desire:

“Yet the people still came…”
(Mark 1:45)

So many reject Your words, Jesus

yet the people still come.

So many of Your followers set bad examples

yet the people still come.

You command us to give up our favorite sins

yet the people still come.

You warn us that there’s a cross for us to bear

yet the people still come.

Satan is doing his best to turn me away

yet I still come to You – my only Hope.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“God sends them a powerful delusion…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:11)

How could this be, Jesus?

You don’t just love the truth
You Are the Truth!

Why would You send people any kind of delusion…

let alone one that’s powerful?

But that’s what You do to people who reject truth, isn’t it?

When they refuse Your Word
they’re turning their backs on You.

Since they’d rather hear lies than submit to Your leadership

You give them what they want

then lay it on thick.

Be encouraged, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“God…wants all men to be saved…”
(1 Timothy 2:3)

I love this, Jesus!

You long for everyone You’ve created
to experience the joy You’ve prepared
for those who believe in You.

But there’s the rub.

Not everyone believes.
Some hear You out, then reject You.

Unthinkable! Unimaginable!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

But You give them that right.

Of course, when they exercise it
they lose heaven and gain hell.

But they lose something even greater than heaven.

They lose You.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“God…was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles.”
(Galatians 2:8)

You chose the Jews, Jesus.

There’s no argument about that.
They’re Yours.

But Hallelujah! You didn’t stop there!

You chose the rest of us, too –
everyone who calls on Your Name.

The Jews who reject You will miss heaven

as will all the Gentiles – the non-Jews –
who fail to put their hope in You.

But I’ll join every believing Jew and Gentile

in heaven.
