Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.”
(Proverbs 4:4-6)

Look and see, Jesus!

I’m taking hold of Your words with all my heart
doing my best – always and forever –
to obey Your Word.

Give me wisdom!
Give me understanding!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’ But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.”
(John 2:19, 21-22)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

my body, too, is a temple.

And though the ravages of life on this earth can destroy it

in Your power I will be raised
to live with you forever!

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.

Go to school, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The Lord says, ‘The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, strutting along with swaying hips, with ornaments jingling on their ankles. Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the Lord will make their scalps bald.”
(Isaiah 3:16-17)

You hate haughtiness, Jesus.

Absolutely hate it.

As a result, You punish it.

Every time.

May I never allow a hint of haughtiness to enter my thoughts, words, actions…

or the way I walk. 😉

Take a little comfort, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?’”
(Mark 2:23-24)

If they criticized Your followers then, Jesus…

why am I surprised –

while I’m faithfully walking with You –

when they criticize me?

Please don’t let their harsh words upset me.

After all, taking heat for You
is a badge of honor!

(Exodus 4:14-16)

When I can’t do what You’ve told me to do, Jesus

You always provide someone –

or something –

to help me.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.”
(Revelation 3:1-2)

Deeds, Jesus.

Not words.

You’ve given me a job to do, along with the gifts and ability to do it.

My excuses for not doing it don’t matter.

I’ve got to finish it

while there’s still time.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling; their words and deeds are against the Lord, defying his glorious presence. The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.”
(Isaiah 3:8-9)

This is terrifying, Jesus.

You’ve just described what is happening now
before my very eyes.

Sins that people used to commit in shame and darkness
they now proudly display in broad daylight
urging others to join them.

No!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus…”
(2 Timothy 2:10)

It’s not only about me, is it, Jesus?

Straight up? I confess:

I sometimes forget that.

Although I say differently – believe differently! –

my thoughts, words and actions reveal the stark truth:

I’ve got a lot of work to do
to become the person You’ve created me to be.

Okay. Them’s the facts.

Now…back to work.

Thank You for never, ever giving up on me!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered, grateful reflection:

“Your wickedness will punish you…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

There’s a reason why You forbid me to do certain things, Jesus!

It’s not because You’re a kill-joy.
It’s not because You don’t want me to have a good time.

It’s certainly not because You don’t love me
don’t long to see me experience life to the fullest.

It’s because there are thoughts, words and actions

that carry their own terrible punishment.

Out of pure love You tell me:

Don’t go there.
