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.

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!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to him who piles up stolen goods…!”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

That’s another level, isn’t it, Jesus?

To steal one or two things now and then is bad enough.

But to pile up high what’s been stolen

says something about the thief’s heart.

It’s the difference between sometimes losing my battle against temptation

and embracing temptation as a way of life.

Keep me in the good fight, Father!

May what Satan dangles in front of me
never become my master.

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

“…you will be like God…”
(Genesis 3:5)

Satan uses that lie to get me to sin, Jesus

because that’s the lie he told himself
when he rebelled against You

and it blew up in his face.

The more I sin

the less I look like You
the more I look like Satan.

If I want to be like You

I’ve got to reject Satan’s lies
ignore his false promises

and follow closely after You
every step of the way.
