Pray this Lazaroo with humility:

“…if you rely on the law and boast in God; if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children…”
(Romans 2:17-20)

You’re kind of hard on those of us who think we’re “all that,” aren’t You, Jesus?

as well You should be.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves…They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.”
(Romans 2:14-15)

I have the law, Jesus –

along with the prophets, gospels and epistles.

But I don’t want to depend solely on my conscience to apply them.

I’m relying on You, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
(Galatians 2:21)

Paul’s passionate for a reason, Jesus:

You’re the one speaking this truth through him!

I should do my best to live an absolutely holy life.

But no matter how hard I try, I’ll always fall short.

It’s Your grace – the loving price You paid for me on the cross

then rising from the dead –

that is my one, sure hope.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.”
(Galatians 2:15)

What wonderful news for everyone in the world who believes, Jesus!

and absolutely essential for me.

I’ve sinned too many times.

Accidentally? Without a doubt.
Times beyond counting.

But those aren’t the sins that haunt me nearly so much

as the ones I’ve committed
knowing full well they were wrong.

I’m so, SO very sorry!

Without Your grace
I’m undone.
