Pray this Lazaroo in quiet trust:

“’…if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband…May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen. So be it.’”
(Numbers 5:20-22)

It’s great to know when I’m innocent of the charges against me, Jesus

and terrifying when I know I’m guilty.

Human beings may guess wrong

But You never do

because You’re not guessing.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“…the anointing you received from him remains in you…”
(1 John 2:27)

That is so comforting, Jesus!

so good to know.

When I sin – which I sadly confess is way too often –

Satan tries to make me afraid that I’ve lost what I had with You.

That’s a terrifying thought.

But it’s not true!

You’ve promised to never leave me nor forsake me.

And though I’ve let You down countless times

I will never turn my back on You.

Stand firm! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:5)

For someone who devotes their life to invest in others, Jesus

that has to be one of the most terrifying fears.

Defeat the tempter!
Send him back in utter failure!

May Your people become everything You’ve created us to be.

Stand strong! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace.”
(Daniel 3:19-20)

That had to be terrifying, Jesus!

They stood strong for You
and it was about to cost them their lives.

Satan set up this moment, confident they would back down.

But they didn’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling; their words and deeds are against the Lord, defying his glorious presence. The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.”
(Isaiah 3:8-9)

This is terrifying, Jesus.

You’ve just described what is happening now
before my very eyes.

Sins that people used to commit in shame and darkness
they now proudly display in broad daylight
urging others to join them.

No!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.”
(Haggai 2:21)

Getting an assignment like this from You would be a challenge, Jesus.

First of all, it’s hard to deliver bad news.

Secondly, news this huge and terrifying
would almost certainly directly impact me.

Finally, what if You didn’t do it in the governor’s lifetime?
I’d look like a false prophet.

But ultimately, none of that matters, does it?

My job is very simple:

Obey.

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Fear:

“…you said, ‘I will not serve you!’”
(Jeremiah 2:20)

What a foolhardy, terrifying declaration, Jesus.
Most of us aren’t that blatant with our defiance.

We give you lip service that makes us sound righteous
until our disobedient actions reveal our words to be lies.

That’s not my intent, LORD!

I know I’ve overpromised and underperformed.
But every time I promise You something I mean it.

Please help me overcome my weakness!
I so long to obey You.
Every time.

On this 1st day of April, know that God’s not fooling:

“…they are…heartless…”
(Romans 1:31)

Some of the worst people out there, Jesus

still have a heart.

There are things they still care about, people they love.

As hardhearted as they are about most things
a little tenderness still comes through.

But those who are absolutely, totally heartless?

These people are terrifying.
Their lips sometimes curl into a smile

but their eyes are ice cold.

I beg You to protect me from them, Father!

and never allow me to become one of them.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Before them…the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars no longer shine.”
(Joel 2:10)

I can hardly imagine an army of locusts so dense, Jesus…

that all the lights of the sky are blocked from sight
covered in a thick, undulating blanket.

No ordinary locust swarm, that.

You sent a plague of supernatural locusts on Your people

a terrifying invasion of epic proportions.

You warned them again and again!

But they ignored You until

it was too late.

Cling to God’s promises, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Before them…the sky trembles.”
(Joel 2:10)

Those are some fearsome creatures You created, Jesus!

Punishment You inflicted on Your own people –
a terrifying swarm of supernatural locusts.

No wonder the very sky trembled!

But if I tremble before You –

terrified to sin against Your greatness, majesty, love and wisdom –

I’ll never have to tremble because of Your punishment.

Sadly, I’ve failed at that in the past

and experienced Your loving discipline…

which steered me all the way back

to You.
