Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“So, as the Holy Spirit says: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts…’”
(Hebrews 3:7-8)

That’s a big “if,” Jesus.

Most people haven’t heard Your voice.

Except…if I’ve read the Bible

or heard a preacher or teacher proclaiming Your Word

I guess I have heard from You.

So I’m not off the hook, am I?

Looks like I’d better not harden my heart. Smile

O God!

Help me make my heart totally responsive to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with never-say-die grit:

“If we endure…”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

That’s one big “if,” isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s one thing to start strong.
I’ve done that plenty of times.

But it’s another thing entirely to keep going through the slog of the middle

all the way to the finish line.

The initial burst of excitement wanes.
There’s pushback…there are setbacks.
My run slows to a walk…a trudge…a crawl.

I’ve started far more times than I’ve finished.

But by Your grace
not this time.
