Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Then Solomon said, ‘The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud’…”
(2 Chronicles 6:1)

I guess that’s something You told Solomon, Jesus

because that statement appears nowhere else in the Bible.

But I’m so thankful to hear it –

through every hard, torturous, dark cloud day I’m called to endure.

You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

That means so much on my good days
but it means a thousand times more on the bad.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…that day sweeps on like chaff…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

I’ve had a few days that felt like that, Jesus.

Nothing but chaff –
the sweepings of husks separated from the grain.

Filler…but no nutrition.
Activity…without accomplishment.

But the wild thing is that even on those days

You were with me.
You’re always with me!

And You – Redeemer of Lost Days –

were working, teaching, moving even then –
one more step in Your loving, lifelong plan

to transform me into Your amazing likeness.

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

“May those who curse days curse that day…”
(Job 3:8)

Am I a “curser of days,” Jesus?

Are there some holidays I hate?
A person’s birthday I can’t stand?
Several anniversaries I loathe?
Two or three bad-day memories I detest?

I’d better watch it, or I won’t have any good days left on my calendar!

Please help me remember that You either stood by and allowed each of those days to occur…or made them happen.

For a reason.
