Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“See, I will make you small among the nations…”
(Obadiah 1:2)

That’s no threat to a small nation, Jesus.

It’s not much of a threat to one medium sized.

But if they thought it was the truth

if they knew Who was speaking –
the One Who can make good on His every Word –

that would scare the fire out of a big nation

like mine.

And given the increasing godlessness I see all around me

so it should.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.”
(Song of Songs 4:9)

You have stolen my heart, Jesus!

with one Promise from Your Word

followed by a thousand more

with Your death on the cross for me

followed by Your resurrection
and the certainty that because You live
I will live forever with You also.

Correction:

You didn’t steal my heart.
It was Yours before time began.

Be duly warned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value…and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 5:17-18)

This answers one of my questions, Jesus:

Ignorance of Your Law is no excuse.

If I refuse to study Your Word to learn Your commands

I will pay the consequences.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“You have wearied the Lord with your words.”
(Malachi 2:17)

I don’t want to do that to You, Jesus!

In fact, I didn’t think I could.
I didn’t think You ever grew tired or weary.

But You don’t become weary from the mighty miracles You perform.

What wearies You is when I don’t do
what I say I’ll do.

You’re sick to death of empty words.

O God! Forgive me!

May I always – in Your strength –
keep my word to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
(2 Corinthians 3:17)

Most nonbelievers think Christianity is a boatload of rules, Jesus.

They would be stunned to read this verse.

Frankly, so am I.

Oh, not because I don’t believe it.
I do!

But because I’ve not been fully living in the freedom
You so lovingly purchased for me by Your sacrifice on the cross.

Help me live moment-by-moment in Your Spirit
through the power of Your Word!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
(1 Timothy 2:15)

Oh, what a solemn, sacred trust, Jesus!

Help me to come to Your Word with an open mind and heart!

May I never approach with my own agenda
seeking to proof-text what I already believe.

Instead, may I open my Bible in true humility
eager to be taught.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…it is defiled…”
(Micah 2:10)

Someone or something starts out fine, Jesus

and then it’s defiled.

A word or action displeasing to You is all it takes

for it to be defiled.

You give me specific instructions about life

that You intend for me to follow.

When I don’t do it the way You prescribe

I defile the very thing You’ve provided to be a blessing.

How foolish.
What a waste!

May I never, ever defile one of Your gifts!
