Pray this Lazaroo with utter humility:

“‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will frown on you no longer, for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt—you have rebelled against the Lord your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:12-13)

It’s when I refuse to acknowledge my guilt

that You continue to frown on me, isn’t it, Jesus?

Well, let me take care of that right now:

I’m guilty!
My sins are horrific!

I have no excuse.
None.

Please be merciful to me, a sinner.

Pray this Lazaroo with a pure heart:

“…he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.”
(Luke 1:51)

Wow. Hidden pride.

Thank You for uncovering this one for me, Jesus.

Humble on the outside…

prideful on the inside.

Scuffing my toe in the dirt…aw, shucks…it wasn’t much…

while secretly thinking all the time: “I’m hot stuff!”

Seriously? I should know better. You sure do!

People may praise me for my accomplishments
but they’re not mine, are they?

They’re Yours.

Without You…I’m nothing.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“‘I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven,’ declares the LORD.”
(Zechariah 2:6)

At first glance, this sounds like punishment, Jesus.

But it isn’t.

It’s Your promise that Your people will outgrow Jerusalem and move into all the population centers of earth.

Wow.

Today, that’s a no-brainer.

Of course.
Totally obvious.
The descendants of Abraham are everywhere.

But back 2,536 years ago when You spoke these words through your prophet?

Unthinkable.

Just as some of Your yet-to-be realized prophecies

seem today.
