Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude:

“…what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.”
(Psalm 8:4-5)

Yes, You did, Jesus –

because You love us.
You created us in Your Image.

And because we sinned against You – every last one of us!

You came to this earth to pay for our sins with Your own Life

so we could live with You forever.

Cry out to God for help as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…my heart is faint.”
(Lamentations 1:22)

That was true of Jeremiah then, Jesus

and sometimes it’s true of me –
but not always for the same reason!

It could be because I’m missing my 1on1 time with You

because I’ve deliberately sinned against You
because I’m hurting for someone I love
because I’m distressed about my country
because I’m under Satan’s attack
because of terrible hurt or loss in my own life.

O God, You! You alone!

can restore me.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“The LORD will…again choose…”
(Zechariah 2:12)

When I’ve done what I shouldn’t have, Jesus

sinning against You

when my sins have forced You to discipline me

bringing me pain, sorrow, suffering, excruciating regret

it can feel like You and I will never be close again
that I’ve forever lost the precious intimacy we had –

until, in repentance, I look up in happy, near disbelief

to realize You choose once again

to experience deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1 relationship with me.

Pray this Lazaroo in loving, eternal gratitude:

“…pay with his life for this…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

That’s what Adonijah had to do, Jesus

and that’s what was required of me.

I’ve sinned against You.

Not once or twice, but repeatedly.

My life!

That’s the pronounced sentence
for willfully defying Your loving commands.

I was imprisoned on death row

until You stepped into my cell
and took my place.

You let them kill You instead of me

so that I
utterly guilty
without excuse

could go free.
