Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!”
(Hebrews 5:11-12)

I don’t know why those people didn’t try to understand, Jesus.

But they’re not me.
I long to understand!

I’m begging You: Help me understand!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.”
(Philippians 2:19)

That’s the way to hope, Jesus:

not in my own desires

in You.

When my hopes are dashed it’s not because You’ve failed me.

It’s because my hope was in my wishes, my plans, my agenda

not in You.

So now, from this day forward:

I put all my hope in You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come.”
(Galatians 3:18-19)

We were in that holding pattern for a long time, Jesus!

You’re the Seed that came.

Abraham was looking forward to Your coming.

I’m looking back at your coming…

and forward to Your coming again!

Pray this Lazaroo in life-changing belief:

“But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…”
(Romans 3:21-23)

I cannot thank You enough for this, Jesus!

By the standards of the Law, I was condemned to hell.

But because I believe in You –

your death, burial and resurrection –

I have eternal life!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.”
(Philemon 1:4-5)

I don’t blame Paul for praising Philemon for the love he showed for other believers, Jesus.

But without Philemon’s faith
it would have had no eternal meaning.

It’s my faith in You
that restores me when I’m less than loving.

It’s my faith in You
that will get me that hug from You one day in heaven.
