Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number. How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women can learn from your ways. On your clothes is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in.”
(Jeremiah 2:32-34)

How could I ever forget You, Jesus?

And yet when I repeatedly sin the same sins

that’s exactly what I’ve done.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, ‘Take off his filthy clothes.’ Then he said to Joshua, ‘See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.’”
(Zechariah 3:4-5)

Is that how I look to you when I sin, Jesus?

As though I’m dressed in filthy clothes?

Wow.
I didn’t know.

I repent, LORD!

Clothe me in Your righteousness!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality…I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.”
(Revelation 2:20-22)

You are so patient with us, Jesus!

When I sin…

may I always – deeply, sincerely, from the heart –

repent.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.”
(Galatians 2:16)

I keep forgetting this, Jesus!

Should I obey You?
Absolutely!

But You don’t want me living in fear when I sin

as though my place in heaven with You is in jeopardy.

Do I believe in You with all my heart?

Yes!!!

Then…

I’m in.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…their destruction has not been sleeping.”
(2 Peter 2:3)

But it feels like that, doesn’t it, Jesus?

When somebody who doesn’t believe in You does wrong
they look around and think –

“How about that! I got away with it!”

Of course, they didn’t.
If they don’t repent, their punishment is guaranteed to arrive

in Your perfect way and time.

I, on the other hand, know better.

When I sin, I’m filled with remorse.

I’m driven to repent
and make it right.
