Pray this Lazaroo with passionate desire:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you…: ‘There is no faithfulness…’”
(Hosea 4:1)

That was the awful situation in Israel, Jesus!

Are we any better today?
I fervently hope so.

But what we call faithfulness

may not be faithful at all in Your eyes –
because You see into our hearts.

How many of the righteous acts I perform are for You

and how many are to make me look good?

O God!

The answer must be:

Zero.

Pray this Lazaroo with unbending passion:

“…found that the Lord had opened a door for me…”
(2 Corinthians 2:12)

An open door is a priceless thing, Jesus!

No matter how hard I try
how experienced I am
how much firepower I can muster
how much money I throw at it
how many people I have helping me

if You don’t open the door
I’ll never make it through.

But that’s fine.

Because I don’t want to walk through ANY door
that isn’t in the dead center of Your will.

Plead with God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the LORD…was with the judge…”
(Judges 2:18)

Back in the day, Jesus…

Your judges were more than deciders of disputes.
They were leaders and warriors.

Today, our judges mostly sit behind big, imposing desks

listen to each side make its case and make rulings.

Even so…

oh, how we need You to be with our judges!

Some of them take the bench with hidden evil intent.

Block them! Remove them!

Even better, Great God, Judge of All:

Change them.

Be overwhelmed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘…how evil and bitter it is for you when you…have no awe of me,’ declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Awe isn’t an option, Jesus –

not when it comes to You.

When I gaze into the starry nighttime sky or hold a newborn baby

I should be filled with awe over Your amazing creativity
and the miracle of human life.

When I consider my wholly undeserved salvation

I should be overwhelmed in grateful awe for your love and mercy.
