Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him…”
(Colossians 2:6-7)

How can I send my roots down deep in You, Jesus?

The answer to that question is no big secret, is it?

Time spent with You studying and obeying Your Word.
Time spent with You in prayer.
Time spent with You loving Your people.

Does this describe my daily life?

Then I’m being rooted and built up in You.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“…we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:2)

That’s exactly who I want to be, Jesus!

Nothing under the table
Nothing shameful.

No deception.
Distortion-free.

A plain truth-teller of Your Word.

What others think matters
but the one I most want to please

is You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, you Israelites! Listen, royal house! This judgment is against you: You have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor. The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter. I will discipline all of them.”
(Hosea 5:1-2)

What we think is hidden, Jesus

isn’t.

What we think we do in secret

is fully known by You.

So when we hide things and do them in secret

may they only be good and not evil

to be showered with blessings from above!

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.”
(1 John 2:22)

That clears up a few things, Jesus.

The atheist is a liar.

So when the atheist marshals their arguments against You

underneath every statement, every carefully-chosen fact
is hidden a deeply ugly secret:

The atheist isn’t seeking truth.

The atheist is desperately searching for a way
to escape Your authority over their life.

But their attempts are futile.

For one day soon they will stand before You

condemned.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling; their words and deeds are against the Lord, defying his glorious presence. The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.”
(Isaiah 3:8-9)

This is terrifying, Jesus.

You’ve just described what is happening now
before my very eyes.

Sins that people used to commit in shame and darkness
they now proudly display in broad daylight
urging others to join them.

No!

Pray this Lazaroo with a determination to follow:

“Queen Esther…reported it to the king…”
(Esther 2:22)

What do I do when I hear something of huge importance, Jesus?

Do I keep it to myself?

In the case of gossip or sworn secrecy
sometimes I should.

But what about those times when the nature of what I’ve learned must not remain a secret –

at least not to the people who need to know it?

Oh, how I need Your guidance!
Lead me, LORD!

I know You will.
