Pray this Lazaroo in broken repentance:

“‘If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers—would you now return to me?’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:1)

Once again, You’re teaching on two levels, Jesus –

on marriage
on my relationship with You.

But the answer to Your question is yes!

If I have strayed

I will return to You forever – with all my heart!

Pray this Lazaroo with solemn determination:

“…since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience…God again set a certain day, calling it ‘Today.’ This he did when a long time later he spoke through David… ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.’”
(Hebrews 4:6-7)

A hard heart can cost me everything, Jesus!

It can ruin the relationships I desire with my friends and family

and cripple my relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
(1 Peter 2:5)

What are “spiritual sacrifices,” Jesus?

They have to be something I do – or don’t do –

with my own spirit.

What does my spirit want that isn’t best for my relationship with You?

I’ll give that up.

What does my spirit not want to do, that You desire?

That…I will do.

Cherish it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

That’s the beauty of it, Jesus.

You’re not sequestering Yourself in heaven
away from all the riff-raff, distant and aloof.

You created me.
You know me intimately.
You care about me and every aspect of my life.

You live in me in the Person of the Holy Spirit!

You’ll never leave me nor forsake me.

It is my unspeakably awesome privilege

to enjoy deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“All this was recorded in the book of the annals…”
(Esther 2:23)

We have our records, Jesus

and You have Yours.

You record every good thought, word and action.

We have nothing close to that.

But some of the things recorded in our books are missing from Yours:

Every sinful thought, word or action I’ve committed

is gone, gone, gone, gone, GONE!

Paid in full by Your blood shed on the cross for me

eradicated from my relationship with You

forever.

Take note! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…The LORD…saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived…”
(Judges 2:18)

It’s pretty important to have a Spirit-filled leader, isn’t it, Jesus?

Somebody You’ve called, who’s full of Your love and wisdom.
A person who gets guidance and direction straight from You.
A man or woman You truly love to bless.

Leaders who stay in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment 1on1 relationship with You

tend to inspire their flock to do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.”
(Exodus 3:15)

It’s not the only Name we call You, Jesus…Yeshua…Messiah…Savior…

Abba…Adonai…Creator…El Shaddai…Alpha and Omega…
Father…Son…Holy Spirit…LORD…God –

but it’s the one that says it all:

I AM.

You’re…Always.

Without beginning.
Without end.

No wonder I worship You!

No wonder I praise You for everything good
call on You when I’m in distress!

No wonder I desire deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You!

You ARE.
