Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it…”
(1 John 2:21)

John was writing to those who believe in You, Jesus

not to those who had rejected You

which means He’s also writing to me.

I believe in the truth that You are God

that You came to this earth
to save us from our sins

by dying on the cross
then rising from the dead

to give all who believe in You eternal life!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines.”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

All I need to succeed, Jesus

is for You to speak a word in my behalf.

All I need to fail

is for You to speak one word against me.

So the most important task of my life

is to discover how to have You speak for me!

which You do for all

who put our faith
in what You did for us
on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in bated breath anticipation:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

This is a fascinating command, Jesus.

Many of us who have trusted You as our Savior
view our salvation as a single event.

We said, “Yes!” to the good news
that You paid for our sins on the cross
and three days later rose from the dead.

But now – oh the excitement!

…to learn there’s more.

Pray this Lazaroo in submissive recognition:

“…when we were torn away from you…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:17)

Clearly, that was a painful time, Jesus

but You allowed it.
It’s entirely possible that You caused it!

Why would You allow something so painful to happen to one of Your own?

It’s because not everything that’s painful is bad, isn’t it?
Sometimes pain is useful, instructive, essential, eye-opening.

No greater example of that hard truth exists

than the suffering You endured on the cross

for those you love.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.”
(Acts 2:23)

Just as You predicted, Peter denied you three times, Jesus.

But not on this day.

He had seen You risen from the dead!

After Your resurrection He had eaten with You
talked with You, listened to You teach.

He saw You rise into the sky as You returned to heaven.

So on this day…

Peter proclaimed Your Word without fear!

Pray this Lazaroo…with second thoughts:

“I’ve been told all about what you have done…”
(Ruth 2:11)

I wouldn’t mind that at all, Jesus

if You caused the good I’ve done to be told.

But there’s a whole lot I’ve done

that I fervently hope, pray and beg You
to keep between us.

I wish You hadn’t seen those things

but there’s no hiding from You.

Wait a minute…

Yes, there is!

Because of Your sacrifice on the cross

You remember my sins no more!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“If we died with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

That’s a disconcerting thought, Jesus

at first.

I mean, the very idea of dying is disturbing.

Having company while I do it doesn’t help a whole lot.

But when I realize that that the One I’m dying with is You

identifying with what You did for me on the cross
and making the irrevocable decision to die to my sins

that’s just about the greatest death
I could possibly imagine.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…they realized they were naked; so they sowed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.”
(Genesis 3:7)

That’s what happens every time I sin, Jesus.

First the shame
then the cover-up.

Sin must be covered

because it’s so foul!

I could attempt to cover my sin

with lies, excuses, misdirection
trying to change the subject –

all for naught.

The only way sin can ever be covered

is by sincere repentance
trusting in Your shed blood on the cross.
