Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“…the Lord of peace himself…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

You Are That, Jesus:

My Peace!

You warned me that in this world I’d have trouble.

But then You comforted me with this promise:

“But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

I need not be surprised when trouble comes.

You warned me it would.

But the good news is:

Trouble doesn’t have the power to rob me of Your peace!

“This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

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 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?
