Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“As you have heard from the beginning…”
(2 John 1:6)

I’m thinking back to my beginning with You, Jesus!

The day when You drew me to Yourself.
The moment when I realized I believed!

The prayer I prayed, confessing my sinfulness
asking You to forgive me, to save me

to enter my life and lead me wherever You desire
all the way to heaven.

I’m still on that journey!

Closer than ever
trusting You every step of the way.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude for the cross:

“You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew.”
(Galatians 2:14)

Peter had embraced Your good news, Jesus!

He was no longer living under the law.
He had faced the fact that he kept falling short.

Instead, he was now living under grace –
trusting You alone as His Savior.

But when some of the old crowd showed up

he reverted to his old ways
and Paul, in Your courage –

nailed him for it.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“All my enemies…rejoice at what you have done.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

Wow. Not only am I suffering at Your hands, Jesus

but those who hate me are jumping up and down with glee.

I could throw a fit. Give up. Quit.

Tempting.

But no.
You deserve better.

So I’ll humble myself, attempt to understand why You’re doing this

learn from it, take my lumps
trusting You in Your mercy to do something through me

that makes my enemies stop laughing.

Examine yourself, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to him who…makes himself wealthy by extortion!”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

Extortion, Jesus

threatening to harm someone
unless they pay what I demand.

You hate that.

So would I…
if it were done to me.

But there’s more than one way to threaten someone

nor does everything I want have to do with money.

At heart, the sin of extortion is the belief that I have to threaten to harm others

instead of trusting You to provide what I need.
