Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold and brings the fortified city to ruin. There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth.”
(Amos 5:9-10)

You see what’s going on, Jesus!

To us, it feels like You refuse to do anything about it.

It does, that is…

until in one moment
You utterly ruin the wicked!

Help me to trust Your perfect way and time.

You alone know

When
How
Why!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.”
(Proverbs 4:13-15)

As instructions go, Jesus

this is one of the best:

protecting me from horrific consequences
on earth…and eternally.

Help me hold on to this instruction and never let it go!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“At that time Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates went to them and asked, ‘Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?’ They also asked, ‘What are the names of those who are constructing this building?’”
(Ezra 5:3-4)

Intimidation tactics, Jesus.

Evil people are full of them.

Help me see their wicked strategies a mile away!

Help me deal with their threats and manipulations
with the supernatural wisdom that comes only from You.

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 sober reflection:

“The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.”
(Psalm 9:15-17)

They will suffer, Jesus

but it’s their own doing.

When their punishment befalls them

they’ll cry out against You

but they’ll have only themselves to blame.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Who knows? God may yet relent…”
(Jonah 3:9)

Even after the prophet Jonah delivered Your declaration of doom, Jesus

Ninevah’s king rallied his people with the hope of Your mercy.

For good reason:
Your mercy is legendary!

Yes, You punish willful, stubbornly repetitive sin.

But it breaks Your heart when You have to do it.
You give us chance after chance after chance to repent.

Even after You pronounce judgment

there’s always hope that You will relent
if we change our wicked ways.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo with consistent faith:

“Then the Lord was jealous for his land and took pity on his people. The Lord replied to them: ‘I am sending you grain, new wine and olive oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.’”
(Joel 2:18-19)

That’s Your heart, Jesus!

When we repent, You bless us!

But when we return to our wicked ways – as Your people did –

You reluctantly withdraw Your blessings

knowing only then will we return to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Look up to the barren heights and see. Is there any place where you have not been ravished? By the roadside you sat waiting for lovers, sat like a nomad in the desert. You have defiled the land with your prostitution and wickedness. Therefore the showers have been withheld, and no spring rains have fallen.”
(Jeremiah 3:2-3)

You liken Your people to a brazen prostitute, Jesus

making it clear how You view our continual sins.

O God!

Keep me pure before You –

in my thoughts, words and deeds.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence. The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.”
(Proverbs 3:31-33)

From a distance, Jesus…

it’s easy to believe evil people
are getting away with it.

But You’ve given Your Word:

They’re not!

You alone are my hope for a great life on this earth

…and beyond.
