Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“If we endure, we will also reign with him.”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

I’m so thankful for that promise, Jesus!

You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I won.
You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I overcame.
You didn’t say I’d reign with You if I knocked it out of the park.

You said all I’d have to do to reign with You

is endure.

Why am I grateful?

Because some days
that’s all I can do.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“They restored Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.”
(Nehemiah 3:8)

So far, so good, Jesus

but not done.

It’s good to stop and celebrate progress

so long as I remember I’ve got to resume working.

Milestones are great unless they’re confused with completion.

There’s a difference between taking a break
and walking off the job.

So which of the assignments You’ve given me have I finished, Father…

and on which do I need to get back to work?

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…you continue…”
(3 John 1:3)

Many people start, Jesus.

Few continue.

Continuing requires character.

It means I keep going no matter what.
It means I stay the course in spite of how I feel.

It means I set my jaw and refuse to be pushed off track

even when it appears what I’m doing
isn’t going to pay off.

To continue requires not only everything I’ve got

but forces me to lean on You
every moment of the day.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“May its morning stars become dark…”
(Job 3:9)

Because of his suffering, Jesus

Job curses the day of his birth.

Normally, birthdays are joyous occasions.

No more.
Not for Job.

His life has become too bitter.

Now he wants the day of his birth to become a bleak, dark day

a cause for mourning
the brightest stars extinguished.

But little does he know the happiness You have planned for him

if he will only hold on
a little longer.
