 Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being: 

“On the first day…”
(Ezra 3:6)

That’s when I need to make my move, isn’t it, Jesus?

on the first day.

No waiting. No procrastination. No dawdling.
No telling myself that I’ll get right on that…

tomorrow.

Such a lie. A self-deception.

What is there about serving You
about tackling the calling You’ve placed on my life

that makes me want to put it off

till day two?

Day two never comes.

Today

is my only chance to discover what You long to do

through me.

 Pray this Lazaroo in confident respect: 

“…the secret power of lawlessness…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:7)

You’re more powerful in me, Jesus

than the greatest power of Satan.

But that doesn’t make Satan powerless

or any less a formidable enemy.

He’s studied me until he knows where I’m weakest

and that’s exactly where he attacks

again and again and again.

His methods aren’t new. They aren’t hard to figure out.

but they’re effective

until the moment I remember
to cry out to You for help

when temptation strikes.

 Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“…we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need…”
(2 Chronicles 2:15)

No, I’m not searching for “logs from Lebanon” right now, Jesus…

but as I meditate on Your promises
I have hope – even in the midst of this storm –

because You’ve promised to provide me with

“all I need.”

I sometimes confuse what I need

with what I want.

Forgive me!

I’m not smart enough to know what I truly need.

But You are.

When I reach for it

it will be there.
