Pray this Lazaroo in transparent desperation:

”…the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh…”
(2 Peter 2:9-10)

My flesh has some corrupt desires, Jesus –

to which I’ve given in
far too often.

But that’s not who I want to be!

In Your power, Holy Spirit
that’s not who I will be!

Rescue me from these trials and temptations, Father!

You’re my only Hope.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.”
(2 Peter 2:9)

You’re not one-sided, Jesus.

You do good to those who put their trust in You.

But You also hold punishment in store
for those who defy You.

You are pure love.

But that means You hate evil
because evil is the enemy of love.

If love is to triumph – and it will –

evil must be smashed.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“For if God…protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others…if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless…then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials…”
(2 Peter 2:4-5, 7,9)

You did protect Noah, Jesus.

You protected Lot, too.

The thing is…

I’m not as righteous as Noah or Lot.

All I have going for me is Your forgiveness for my countless sins.

But praise Your Holy Name!

That’s enough.
