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 in stunned realization:

“…they have rebelled against you.”
(Psalms 5:10)

Some people rebel against You defiantly and openly, Jesus.

Others do so while outwardly professing their faith in You.

If all sin is a form of rebellion then I shamefully confess:

I’ve rebelled against You.

No, I’ve not rejected You as my Savior

but every time I do what I know I shouldn’t
I’ve rebelled against You as my LORD.

How dare I – Your soldier in Heaven’s army –

disobey my Commanding Officer?

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

“…you shameful nation…”
(Zephaniah 2:1)

You not only keep track of nations, Jesus

but of every single person in them.

In reality, it’s not the nation that’s shameful

but the sum of the people within it.

If the majority of them repeatedly make bad choices

the nation itself becomes corrupt.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way!

If my nation is one of those in growing jeopardy
we can change…

and the change can ignite through me.

Pray this Lazaroo with self awareness:

“…their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work under their supervisors.”
(Nehemiah 3:5)

That’s a pretty stubborn case of laziness, Jesus.

Most people work when their supervisors are standing over them.
It’s when their supervisors leave that lazy people stop work.

“People don’t do what you expect…they do what you inspect.”

But these people refused to work in full view of their bosses!

Shameful.
Inexcusable.

Like the times I sin
even though I know You’re watching.
