Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted dedication:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.”
(1 John 2:26)

It’s hard to believe there are people like that, Jesus!

I don’t get it.

Why would anyone want to lead me astray?

Oh.

They’re being influenced by Satan, aren’t they?

He’s at war with You.
He hates that I belong to You.

So he’s doing everything in his power
to turn me toward him and away from You.

But he’s wasting his time.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of love:

“Be merciful…”
(Jude 1:22)

I’ve got a question, Jesus:

Why is it so hard for me to be merciful to others

while being the grateful recipient
of all this mercy I’m receiving from You?

I know what I deserve –

and it ain’t peaches and cream.

I deserve dismemberment, humiliation and hell.
Instead, You’ve given me life, golden opportunities and heaven.

Surely, I can muster up a little of Your mercy toward others!

You’ve made it pretty clear:

If I don’t

my own mercy could come to a halt.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.”
(Ezekiel 4:7-8)

Just as You did with Ezekiel, Jesus

so You sometimes do with me.

You had given him a difficult task –

one he might have been tempted to abandon.

So You tied him to it.

That explains a whole lot of what’s happening in my life.

Pay extremely close attention, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it…This will be a sign to the people of Israel. Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself.”
(Ezekiel 4:3-4)

How many times, Jesus

have You called on Your prophets, preachers and pastors
to be a sign to Your sinning people

to repent, change their hearts and their evil ways
before it’s too late?
