Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished…”
(Romans 3:24-25)

You’ve left a countless number of my sins unpunished Jesus.

Your sacrifice on the cross

has set free this unworthy –

but profoundly grateful –

sinner saved by grace.

Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with gratitude and love:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
(John 3:16-17)

I believe, Jesus!

Thank You for coming into this world
to save the likes of unworthy me –

for not condemning me for my inexcusable sins
but saving me and granting me eternal life.

HALLELUJAH!
HALLELUJAH!
HALLELUJAH!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’”
(Galatians 3:13)

You loved us that much, Jesus!

You love me that much.

Me.

Totally unworthy, sin-plagued, mistake-ridden me.

Incomprehensible.

At my best, I’m barely tolerable.
At my worst, I’m unlovable.

I’m at my best so seldom.
I’m at my worst too often.

And still, You love me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you…”
(Obadiah 1:3)

Pride will do that, Jesus.

The moment I get to thinking it’s all me

and forget that everything I have is from You

I’ve committed the same fatal mistake as Your angel Lucifer

who lost his place in heaven.

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

May I never forget:

You’re the Giver of every good and perfect gift!

I’m the totally, wholly, utterly

unworthy recipient.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood…”
(1 Peter 2:9)

It’s awesome to hear this, Jesus!

But it’s also hard to hear.

I don’t feel worthy.
Why would You choose the likes of me?

I don’t feel like royalty.
When I look in the mirror, I see a commoner.

Who am I to function as a priest?
I’ve got my hands full with my sinning self.

But praise Your holy Name!

I don’t have to feel it
for it to be 100% true.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…the people crossed over opposite Jericho. The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.”
(Joshua 3:16-17)

Moses gets all the attention for miraculously crossing the Red Sea, Jesus

but You also did the same thing through Joshua!

Second time or no, a miracle is a miracle.

For the second googolth time, Father
keep working Your miracles through us…

…and unworthy me.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-inspired discernment:

“…I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.”
(Ezekiel 3:14)

It’s seldom a good idea to go anywhere when I’m bitter, Jesus.

Even less so with an angry spirit.

But when You’re the one whose strong hand is creating both

look out, sin-ridden destination!

They’re about to find out what You can do to disrupt and destroy

through Your unworthy, chosen instrument.

Use me, LORD!
Use me!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The LORD…appeared to me…”
(Exodus 3:16)

I’d give anything for You to appear to me, Jesus.

But it’s okay if You don’t.
I know I’m not worthy.

It’s more than that, though, isn’t it?

Most people couldn’t handle it.

Besides – other than the absolute thrill –

what would be the point?

In the Bible I already have Your Word

portions of which I’m still struggling to obey.

On top of which…

sooner than I imagine…

I’ll see You in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with no excuses obedience:

“But you have insulted the poor.”
(James 2:6)

Not a good idea, is it, Jesus?

If I insult the poor
I’ve insulted You, their Maker.

It’s easy for me to judge – without truly knowing – how a person became poor

then conclude they’re unworthy of my help.

But You didn’t command me to be kind

only to those who don’t deserve their poverty.

I’m to recognize that if You’ve put something in my hand

I’d better be willing to share it.

You chose me!

Me! Unworthy, sin-stained, fault-ridden, inconsistent, sad sack me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

This must stun all of heaven.
