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.

Step up to the plate as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…on behalf of the Israelites.”
(Numbers 3:38)

Anything I do “on behalf” of someone else can be nerve-racking, Jesus!

It’s not just about me.
It’s about them.

To think that what I do on their behalf affects them – negatively or positively –

creates a lot of pressure.

I’m tempted to avoid the stress and reject such duties

until I realize that’s impossible.
Everything I do affects somebody else.

As Your follower, I’m always setting an example

for good
or harm.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
(Luke 1:45)

You always fulfill Your promises, Jesus –

but in Your way and time.

When my schedule conflicts with Yours

I’m tempted to think it’s never going to happen.

When my way of doing it blinds me to Your superior plan

I can totally miss what You’re up to.

O God!

Help me rest in the certainty of Your promises
with eyes that see.

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!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was…desirable for gaining wisdom…”
(Genesis 3:6)

Most of us want to know more than we do, Jesus

at least about some things.

But that’s not what Satan was marketing to Eve.

He claimed that all she had to do was disobey God
to become wiser.

And she did.

Shortly after she and her husband were expelled from the garden
she learned that she’d have been wiser

to disobey Satan.
