Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
(2 Timothy 2:22)

How do I overcome all the temptations Satan strews along my path, Jesus?

By single-mindedly focusing on all the opportunities You provide
to become everything You’ve created me to be

while making sure I surround myself
with like-minded men and women
who call on You out of a pure heart.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter gratitude:

“The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one. Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.”
(Galatians 3:19-21)

The law is holy, righteous and good, Jesus!

but sinner that I am

I keep falling short of Your high standard.

Thank You for Your mercy, Jesus!

and for Your atoning death in my behalf on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished…”
(Romans 3:24-25)

You’ve left a countless number of my sins unpunished Jesus.

Your sacrifice on the cross

has set free this unworthy –

but profoundly grateful –

sinner saved by grace.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
(Matthew 5:3-6)

Who could make such promises – and then fulfill them, Jesus –

to the poor in spirit, those who mourn,
the meek, the hungry and thirsty?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo in life-changing belief:

“But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…”
(Romans 3:21-23)

I cannot thank You enough for this, Jesus!

By the standards of the Law, I was condemned to hell.

But because I believe in You –

your death, burial and resurrection –

I have eternal life!

Sunday, December 17, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

That’s both a harsh word, Jesus

and an immensely comforting one.

Do I want everyone to get what they deserve?

No.

In that case, I’d go to hell.

But when evil people arrogantly, relentlessly, unrepentantly harm others?

The purity of Your righteousness
demands an accounting.

Nevertheless, I will pray for their repentance and restoration

until it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground. He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns midnight into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land—the Lord is his name.”
(Amos 5:7-8)

Yes, bitter, unrighteous people are out there, Jesus.

But You’re the One who turns darkness into light!

They’re only spitting into the wind.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“…it is written: ‘So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.’ But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?”
(Romans 3:4-6)

You are Perfect, Righteous and Just, Jesus.

In our flawed, unrighteous, injustice

how dare we impugn Your judgments?

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.”
(Psalm 9:7-10)

You’re my Refuge, Jesus!

My Stronghold!

I know Your Name, JEHOVAH RAPHA!

You will not forsake us

for we seek You with all our hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…Abraham ‘believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.’ Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.”
(Galatians 3:6-7)

So far as I know, Jesus

I’m not a physical Jew.
I’m not directly descended from Abraham.

But those who are the true children of Abraham

are those whose faith is in You –
which makes Abraham my father!

while those who trace their physical lineage from Abraham

but don’t trust in You
are, in fact, illegitimate children.
