Pray this Lazaroo in pure trust:

“The Ninevites believed God.”
(Jonah 3:5)

Every time I take You at Your Word, Jesus…

every time I decide to act on it
every time I follow through with 100% obedience

good things happen!

Well…they don’t just “happen.”

YOU make them happen!

In this case, You sent Jonah to tell the Ninevites that You were going to destroy their city because of their many sins.

When they believed You and repented, however,
You spared them.

O God!
Spare me!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
(Matthew 3:2)

Those words of John the Baptist resonate today, Jesus!

He was the one prophesied by Isaiah –

“A voice of one calling in the desert…”

He was the one prophesied by Malachi –

“I will send you the prophet Elijah…”

to prepare the people for Your coming.

You came! Preached! Healed! Died! Resurrected!

Shocked the world!

I’ve got to repent of every wrong thought, word and action.

You’re coming again.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“He proclaimed, ‘Forty more days and Ninevah will be overturned.’”
(Jonah 3:4)

Finally, Jonah obeyed You, Jesus.

First, he ran away
hopped a ship in the opposite direction.

Stupid decision.
No one can run away from You.

You sent a storm so bad the sailors threw him overboard
had a great fish swallow him until he repented, then spit him out.

Now, he’s preaching like You told him to.

How much better
when I obey You the first time!

Pray this Lazaroo in humility:

“When he is made aware of the sin he has committed…”
(Leviticus 4:28)

That’s a telling moment, isn’t it, Jesus?

What’s my response when I find out
I’ve unintentionally done something wrong?

Do I deny it and refuse to take responsibility?
Do I come up with every excuse I can think of?
Do I react with anger against the person who confronts me?

Or do I repent wholeheartedly
and do everything in my power to make it right?

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…their destruction has not been sleeping.”
(2 Peter 2:3)

But it feels like that, doesn’t it, Jesus?

When somebody who doesn’t believe in You does wrong
they look around and think –

“How about that! I got away with it!”

Of course, they didn’t.
If they don’t repent, their punishment is guaranteed to arrive

in Your perfect way and time.

I, on the other hand, know better.

When I sin, I’m filled with remorse.

I’m driven to repent
and make it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“The man said, ‘The woman you put here with me…’”
(Genesis 3:12)

When You confronted Adam with his sin, Jesus

He immediately blamed You.

You’re the one who created Eve.

You’re the one who made her the kind of person she was.

Of course, Adam was overlooking one tiny issue:

You took her out of him.

Whatever was in her

she got from him.

O God! When You have to confront me

may I repent

rather than blame someone else.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.”
(John 1:44)

The Jewish people living there witnessed Your amazing miracles, Jesus

but many refused to believe –
even though three of Your disciples were from there!

You told them if the pagans living in Tyre and Sidon had seen those same miracles

they would have repented and believed.

You don’t need to do anything more than You already have, Father

for me – with all my heart – to believe.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

That’s the last thing I want, Jesus!

I know You’re unimaginably longsuffering.
I know You’re loving, merciful and kind.
You’re unbelievably patient with me.

But there’s a line, isn’t there?

One I’d better never cross.

The thing is, I can’t see it, can’t tell when I’m close.

So I’d better turn around now

change whatever I know needs to be corrected
while I still can.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

“Afterward the Israelites will return…”
(Hosea 3:5)

That’s what it usually takes for me to return to You, Jesus…

a sign, a tragedy, an event, a message
something that rocks my world.

Only then do I do what I should have done without any push from You:

Turn around, head in the right direction
all the way back home.

Of course, if we’re talking what I should have done…

I never should have strayed from You to begin with.

Be filled with hope, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“From this day on…”
(Haggai 2:18)

That’s my rallying cry, Jesus:

“From this day on!”

There’s not one thing I can do to erase the past.

It’s done.

No matter how much I wish I could

I can’t undo it.

True, I can repent, apologize, repair –

and with Your help I will!

But what energizes me and gives me hope

is that the next chapter of my life hasn’t been written.

I’m collaborating with You on it

today.
