Pray this Lazaroo in trembling fear:

“When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden…”
(Leviticus 4:22)

Let me reword the rest of that sentence, Jesus:

“…it’s bad news.”

Good that the leader didn’t mean to do it

bad that the leader didn’t know enough not to.

Being one of Your leaders is such an awesome privilege

and an incredibly fearful responsibility

because so much is at stake.

The only hope that leader has

is to stay deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 with You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to him who piles up stolen goods…!”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

That’s another level, isn’t it, Jesus?

To steal one or two things now and then is bad enough.

But to pile up high what’s been stolen

says something about the thief’s heart.

It’s the difference between sometimes losing my battle against temptation

and embracing temptation as a way of life.

Keep me in the good fight, Father!

May what Satan dangles in front of me
never become my master.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The LORD said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife…”
(Hosea 3:1)

Most husbands might have trouble showing love to a wife who is cheating on them, Jesus.

But the whole point is:

That’s what You want us to do for one another
because that’s what You do for us.

Sin is cheating on You with Satan.

But in spite of the fact that we’re spiritual adulterers
we still long for You to show us Your love.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…what ought not to be done.”
(Romans 1:28)

I don’t like to think about this, Jesus.

It reminds me of all the times
I’ve been guilty of this very thing.

It’s bad enough when I make an innocent mistake
when I’m guilty of an unintended error in judgment

far worse when I know the good I ought to do
and don’t do it

when I know the evil I dare not do
and do it anyway.

Heal me, Father!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD.”
(Zephaniah 1:17)

That’s the price I have to pay when I sin, isn’t it, Jesus?

groping about in darkness
unable to discern what’s going on
mistaken again and again
fooled times beyond counting
stumbling, falling, hurting
lost and can’t find my way home

Satan’s running a pretty effective TV commercial, Father

but blindness is only one of the side effects
of the lethal drug he’s selling.
