Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.”
(Jonah 3:10)

That’s what I’ve had to do times beyond counting, Jesus:

turn from my evil ways!

I don’t know why I keep having to do that.

You would think I’d learn by now:

Leaving Your path never pays.

But I marvel at the fact that no matter how many times I have to repent

You are faithful to forgive!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Then they will cry out to the Lord, but he will not answer them. At that time he will hide his face from them because of the evil they have done.”
(Micah 3:4)

Is there anything more terrifying, Jesus

than to call out to You for help
while knowing You won’t answer?

I have sinned times beyond counting.

But I repent!
You know how hard I’m trying.

Great God of love, mercy and forgiveness:

Though I thoroughly deserve it
please don’t hide Your face from me!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“The wrath of God has come upon them at last.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

I’m not asking You to punish anyone, Jesus!

Not even those who’ve hurt me the most.

The reason is simple:

I’ve sinned against You so many times.
You’ve forgiven and blessed me times beyond counting.

How dare I ask You to treat them worse
than in Your mercy You’ve treated me?

But for those who deliberately flaunt You without sorrow or regret?

Their day is coming.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting desire:

“Seek the LORD…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

At first that sounds strange, Jesus.

You’re everywhere!
How hard can it be to find You?

Besides, You’ve come to me times beyond counting
helping me, encouraging me, rescuing me.

But there’s always more of You to discover, isn’t there?

I’m only scratching the surface.
My knowledge of You is woefully incomplete.

Your greatness knows no limit!

The only limit is how passionately, persistently, relentlessly

I desire to know, love and follow You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“This is my gospel, for which I am suffering…”
(2 Timothy 2:8-9)

This is contrary to the prevailing wisdom, Jesus –

which says good people shouldn’t be persecuted.

But since when has the prevailing wisdom prevailed?

The wisdom of this world has failed times beyond counting.

By contrast, Your wisdom is eternal!

I’ve learned to trust You with every fiber of my being –

not only because You’ve proven Yourself time and again –

but because You alone

have the words of eternal life.
