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 in full awareness of your True Source:

“The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:11)

Arrogance goes beyond pride, doesn’t it, Jesus?

A person may be Your humble follower
and still be gratefully proud –

knowing it’s You who do it all through them.

But arrogant people pound their chests and point to themselves.

They don’t believe they need Your help or anyone else’s.
They’re their own god.

But one day – when they stand before the true God –

they will be utterly humbled.

Too late.

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

“…now I would be lying down in peace…”
(Job 3:13)

Job is talking about his death, Jesus

imagining himself lying buried
free of pain and heartache.

But that wasn’t what Job really believed!

He knew that death was the passing from this world
to his eternity in the next.

He knew he would one day stand before You
and give an account of his one and only life.

Dear God!

May I never – ever! – forget that one overriding truth.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

“Hear this word the LORD has spoken against you…”
(Amos 3:1)

There are a lot of words I don’t want to hear, Jesus

“I hate you”
“You’ve lost”
“You’re fired”
“It’s terminal”

but any word You would ever speak against me

is at the very top of that list.

I’d rather hear every curse ever uttered

than hear one word of condemnation from You.

What are the words I long to hear when I stand before You?

“Well done.”

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed resolve:

“He did evil in the eyes of the LORD…”
(2 Kings 3:2)

When it comes to doing good or evil, Jesus

Yours are the only eyes that matter.

My culture applauds behaviors You call sin.
My culture decries actions You command me to carry out.

Without question, my culture exerts a lot of pressure on me to conform.

But last time I checked…

at the end of my life I will stand before You
and not my culture.
