Pray this Lazaroo in fierce confidence:

“…but there is a God in heaven…”
(Daniel 2:28)

That’s my comfort, Jesus!

You Exist. You’re real. You’re There.

You’re here!

When people misunderstand what I’m trying to do and berate me, this is why I can sit there and take it:

“Yeah, ‘…but there is a God in heaven!’”

When my enemies attack me and attempt to destroy me and the work I’m trying so hard to do for you, this is what keeps me plugging away:

“Yeah, ‘…but there is a God in heaven!’”

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…comfort from his love…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Oh, Jesus.

There’s no greater comfort than Your love!

Your love is real.
Your love is strong.
Your love is warm.
Your love is encouraging.
Your love is consistent.
Your love is precious.
Your love is everlasting –

for You love me best when I deserve it least.

The love of all others combined cannot compare

except badly.

When I’m beautifully loved by others

I discover that they’re loving me

with Your love.

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

“…refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
(Matthew 2:18)

If someone I loved truly ceased to exist

I’d refuse to be comforted too, Jesus!

But there’s hope for everyone I love

who’s put their trust in You.

You’re the Giver of Eternal Life!

For now I may have to go without seeing them
but I know I’ll rejoin them in heaven.

With You, in You, through You, because of You

it’s never “Goodbye.”
It’s: “See you later.”

Pray this Lazaroo in sudden awareness:

“…refusing to be comforted…”
(Matthew 2:18)

When the pain is that great, Jesus…

only then does someone refuse to be comforted.

It’s hard on their friends and family, who desperately want to help.

But far harder on the one who grieves.

The words, gestures, offers to “let me know if you need anything”

are not only useless

they’re offensive –

as if such things could somehow lessen the agony.

Is that how You felt, Father

when they crucified Your Son?
