Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“The tempter came to him and said, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.’ Jesus answered, ‘It is written: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”’”
(Matthew 3:3-4)

That’s how to deal with Satan’s temptations, isn’t it, Jesus?

Quote Your Word to him
then don’t budge an inch.

Of course, I have to instantly be ready with Your Word

the moment temptation comes.

Maybe I’d better do a little more homework.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
(Matthew 4:1-3)

This was Your plan, Jesus –

to be tempted by Satan to show me that he attacks when I’m weak

and so that when I cry out to You

You can answer:

“I know.”

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“I heard you in the garden…”
(Genesis 3:10)

Adam had that 1on1 relationship with You, Jesus

and blew it.

He took it for granted, let Satan distract him, successfully tempt him

and lost it.

Now, for the first time in his life, he was hiding from You

didn’t want to talk.

So You pursued him!

Thank You for the countless times You’ve pursued me, LORD!
Sadly, I’ve experienced how scary, lonely and dangerous it is out there

without You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with…every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)

May evil never deceive me, Jesus!

Of course, it has
too often.

But even while I partook of its lies, sampled Satan’s wares

I knew better.

When I’m tempted to sin, You continue to warn me

when I give in to temptation, You convict me

which is why I pray:

May evil never again deceive me!
