Never give up! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“All who pass your way clap their hands at you; they scoff and shake their heads at Daughter Jerusalem: ‘Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?’”
(Lamentations 2:15)

People love to attack a fallen hero, Jesus.

Why is that?

Were they jealous of the blessings You bestowed on them?
Are they delighted, now that Your discipline
has brought them down to their level?

What a shock it will be

when You restore the blessings
of Your repentant loved ones!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered humility:

“Let the Lord judge the peoples. Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure—you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.”
(Psalms 7:8-10)

Like David, Jesus

there are times I can’t ask you to deliver me
according to my righteousness.

My only hope is Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Lord my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands—if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.”
(Psalms 7:3-5)

David was absolutely confident of his righteousness, Jesus!

I…not so much.

All I can pray is:

Please be merciful to me, a repentant sinner.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
(Genesis 3:11)

You had just asked the ultimate rhetorical question, Jesus.

Obviously, You knew he had eaten from the tree you told him not to.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have bothered him to be without clothing.
Just as obviously, he knew You knew.

What do I do when You nail me off-base through Your Word?

Do I excuse myself…

…or confess and repent?

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-bursting love:

“The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient.”
(2 Corinthians 2:6)

I love that about You, Jesus!

Yes – unlike some suppose – You punish.

But You know exactly when to stop punishing the sinner

to give them a chance to catch their breath

repent

and start over with renewed hope.

Of course, there’s another crowd.

They’re always disappointed
when You don’t smash the sinner into oblivion.

But as the repentant sinner You haven’t hopelessly smashed

I’m beyond grateful.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…your sins have been forgiven…”
(1 John 2:12)

Are there any sweeter words than that, Jesus?

Not for an habitual, repentant, undeserving sinner like me.

“I love you” are three wonderful words, that’s for sure

but to be loved by one person or a thousand
doesn’t gain me entrance into heaven.

Only what You did for me by giving Your life on the cross

can do that.

What can wash away my sins?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
