Pray this Lazaroo with ironfisted determination!

“My people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path. The Lord takes his place in court; he rises to judge the people. The Lord enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people…”
(Isaiah 3:12-14)

This is the worst, Jesus!

When the people You’ve called and equipped to lead
turn their backs on You

what are the rest of us to do?

Though our leaders forsake You

may we always and forever remain true!

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given perspective:

“They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.”
(1 John 2:19)

This is a huge eye-opener, Jesus!

Sometimes I think people are my close friends.
When they suddenly drop me, I’m devastated.

But now I realize:

If they turn their backs on me and reject me
they never were my friends.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“But I…”
(Jonah 2:9)

Those two words can be the start of something amazing, Jesus!

They’re absolutely perfect
when Satan sets one of his traps.

False teachers may attempt to lead me in suspect paths

But I will hold fast to Your Word
turning neither to the right nor to the left.

When the way becomes hard, others may turn their backs on You

But I will take up my cross
and follow You every step of the way.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace…”
(Jonah 2:8)

You are so good to me, Jesus!

You’re beyond good to every person
who draws a breath on this planet.

You don’t treat us as our sins deserve!

Over and over and over again
You forgive us times beyond counting.

You do, that is…

if we look to You as our God.

But those who trust some god instead of You

turn their backs
on their only hope.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep reverence:

“They forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers…”
(Judges 2:12)

It’s bad enough to forsake You, Jesus.

But for a person who has been reared by a Godly parent to reject You?

Inexcusable.

Those who were reared by ungodly parents

have to shake their heads in disgust and disbelief.

In many of our hearts there’s a desire to be something different from our parents.

But may I use that driving passion to love You more

not less.
