Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-inspired hope:

“Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”
(Jonah 3:8-9)

I don’t want to die, Jesus!

At least, not for that reason.

I mean, I know I’m going to die sometime –

unless You return for Your own before I do.

But may I never be so stubborn and pigheaded

that You have to take me out
to rid the earth of me.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…this is not your resting place…”
(Micah 2:10)

Thanks for the reminder, Jesus.

This world is not my home.

You’ve placed me here for a purpose.

I can ignore it, reject it, do some of it
or give everything I’ve got –

in Your wisdom and strength
and with Your awesome blessing and favor

to fulfill it.

But regardless, when my turn is up

You’ll take me out.

The closer I get to my exit

the more I’m determined

to get ‘er done.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“The LORD brings death…”
(1 Samuel 2:6)

I don’t like to think of You this way, Jesus!

I prefer to honor You as the Author of Life.

But You’re both, aren’t You?

There’s no escaping it.

You’re either LORD of all…

or no LORD at all.

You brought me into this world

and You can take me out.

Please preserve my life for as long as You know it’s best

but when my work is done
take me out.

 Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear: 

“…he revered me and stood in awe of my name.”
(Malachi 2:5)

That’s who I long to be, Jesus…

…who I hope I am.

True, You’re the friend who sticks closer than a brother.

You’re my savior, my teacher, my helper.

But You’re more – so much more!

You’re the Creator of heaven and earth
the Alpha and the Omega

the one who formed me in my mother’s womb
who can take me out before I draw another breath.
