Pray this Lazaroo in sobered understanding:

“…if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

That explains so much, Jesus –

why some people instantly respond to the good news about You
and others in the same room at the same time reject Your love.

With everything in me:

Thank You for lifting the veil from my mind!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? As it is written: ‘God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.’”
(Romans 2:21-24)

O Holy Spirit!

Is there anything I’m doing – or not doing –

that causes unbelievers to think less of You?

If so, I beg You to show me!

In Your Holy Name, dear Jesus!

Amen!

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn awe:

“They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.”
(Isaiah 2:21)

Such will be the behavior of all who scoffed at You, Jesus!

You were outrageously patient with their wicked behavior

but they concluded You didn’t exist
or that You were too wimpy to act.

In that day they will be the wimpy ones
running from You in fear.

Pray this Lazaroo armed for battle:

“…you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’”
(Exodus 3:18)

When You meet with me through Your Word and send me on a mission

I have no choice but to obey

even – or especially!
when the mission is to go to an unbeliever.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…receiving no help from the pagans.”
(3 John 1:7)

Is this a big ol’ surprise, Jesus?

No.
Hardly.

Pagans aren’t in the habit of helping me – or any of Your followers.

In fact, just the opposite.

They tend to get in our way

quite frequently opposing us.

So, receiving no help from the pagans

is no excuse for not being about Your business –

the business of sharing Your gospel with pagans

and being of eternal help to them.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Does [the LORD] do such things?”
(Micah 2:7)

Unbelieving people accuse You of doing so much wrong, Jesus.

But is that what You do?

No!

Because it’s not who You are.

Do You punish wrong? Yes –

though not as our sins deserve.

Are You unfair in Your judgments? Absolutely not.

Instead, just the opposite – You are uncomprehendingly merciful.

Is there an eternal hell that awaits all evildoers? Certainly –

along with an eternal, glorious heaven
for every sinner who repents.
