Pray this Lazaroo with eyes of wisdom:

“…they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”
(Proverbs 4:16-18)

What a contrast, Jesus!

The life of the wicked

vs.

The life of the righteous.

I choose Your sun-drenched path, Father!

Lead me in every good and perfect way!

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-inspired hope:

“Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”
(Jonah 3:8-9)

I don’t want to die, Jesus!

At least, not for that reason.

I mean, I know I’m going to die sometime –

unless You return for Your own before I do.

But may I never be so stubborn and pigheaded

that You have to take me out
to rid the earth of me.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger…”
(Jonah 3:8-9)

The king of Ninevah was right, Jesus!

That’s exactly what You did.

How many times have You done that very thing
down through the years?

When I humble myself, turn from my wicked ways

and cast myself on Your mercy

You look into my heart

see the sincerity there

and relent.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you…”
(Habakkuk 2:17)

So what they sowed, Jesus

You’re going to make sure they reap.

They treated Lebanon violently
and with violence they will be treated.

I’ve sowed some bad seed myself, Father

seed I most assuredly do not wish to reap!

But I’ve forsaken my past sins.

I’ve repented, turned to You with all my heart

trusting in Your incomparable love, mercy and forgiveness.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence.”
(Jonah 3:8)

Why do we find it so hard, Jesus

to give up the things that break Your heart?

You’re not trying to cheat us out of having a good time!

You’re protecting us from the thoughts, words and behaviors
that will destroy our lives.

Forgive me, LORD

for being so slow to give up
what will take me down.
