Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate…Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing—”
(Joel 2:13-14)

Why do You treat us so much better than we deserve, Jesus?

It’s Your deep, abiding love, isn’t it?

Hallelujah!
Thank You!

But I can’t let it stop here, can I?

There are those who’ve wronged me
even as I have wronged You.

May I extend to them
Your deep, abiding love!

Pray this Lazaroo with overflowing gratitude:

“Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.”
(Joel 2:13)

O Jesus!

Yes!

I never want to stray, never want to sin, never want to disappoint You.

But when I do –

for sadly, I have many times –

don’t let me stay out there in the wilderness!

Bring back this wandering sheep to You!

For You are indeed loving, gracious, compassionate!

You would far rather bless me

than punish.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate…”
(Joel 2:13)

Oh, yes You Are, Jesus!

You Are Gracious!

So kind to me.
So tender with me.

You refuse to treat me as my sins deserve.

And You Are Compassionate!

You get me.
You understand why I stumble.

You give me chance after chance after chance!

You keep lifting me up

brushing me off

and sending me back into the fray

not in my own strength

but in Yours.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Return to the LORD your God…”
(Joel 2:13)

Why would any of us ever leave You, Jesus?

You’re loving, kind, merciful, forgiving, all-wise, all-powerful –

the Only God!

How could any of us who has touched Your greatness

stray from Your loving arms?

But we do.

There’s no excuse. None.

My only hope when I commit the unthinkable
and cave in to Satan’s temptation

is to repent with every fiber of my being
and return to You with all my heart!
