Pray this Lazaroo in total dedication:

“With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood!”
(2 Peter 2:14)

What are my eyes full of, Jesus?

If not adultery, what?

Even if it’s a different sin, the result is the same.

I’ll never stop sinning.

Only when my eyes are full of love for You and Your Word

pleasing You and serving Your people

will I be able to stop my sinning
and start laying up significant heavenly treasure.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperation:

“Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, ‘Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and walk in mourning in front of Abner.’ King David himself walked behind the bier. They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb. All the people wept also.”
(2 Samuel 3:31-32)

In the wake of tragedy, Jesus

You enabled David to act decisively and with wisdom.
As a result, the people followed his example.

Please LORD –

when tragedy strikes –

help me do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Someone might argue, ‘If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?’ Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—’Let us do evil that good may result’? Their condemnation is just!”
(Romans 3:7-8)

Through Paul, You brilliantly dismantle this attack on Your gift of grace, Jesus!

Anyone who knows You
knows You would never condone willful sin!

Help me take my stand for truth

and against all who would pervert it!

Pray this Lazaroo in total amazement:

“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
(Genesis 3:21)

Humanly speaking, this is incomprehensible, Jesus.

Adam and Eve knowingly, deliberately, blatantly disobey You.
As a result, they discover they’re naked.

Of course, there are consequences:

They have to leave the Garden of Eden.
Work and childbirth become harder, more painful.

But instead of abandoning them

You clothe them!

O God! Your loving mercy is unfathomable!

…which is why I’m still drawing a breath on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…they quickly turned from the way in which their fathers had walked….”
(Judges 2:17)

What a devastating outcome, Jesus!

These people were taught right.
They had good examples set before them.

Their parents hadn’t failed.

They had.

They couldn’t wait to throw off the restraints of righteousness

hurrying to leave the safe, narrow path.

Instead, they lusted after the broad, popular path of wickedness.

Rejecting their heritage
they plunged themselves into the inescapable consequences

of the dark, hellish pit.

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

“As a result…”
(Mark 1:45)

That’s what every one of my actions has, doesn’t it, Jesus?

A result.

It’s what every word I speak has, too:

a result.

Nor is my mind exempt! Every thought I think has

a result.

Since that’s the case, I dare not

do what I want to do
say what I feel like saying
let my thoughts run

without first thinking through their consequences and what will happen

as a result.
