Get motivated! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Through us, You’re establishing Your kingdom, Jesus

and You don’t want us dragging our feet.

You want us on high alert.
Time’s a-wasting!

People are dying without hearing about You!
Others are on the fence, for lack of good information.

It’s my job to do something about that.

You’ve told me to go tell.
I’d better get with it.

Pray this Lazaroo in unashamed desperation:

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.”
(Psalms 6:2)

All over the world, Jesus

people battling COVID-19 are praying prayers very similar to this one.

But they’re not the only ones.

So are those battling sicknesses and diseases of every kind.

Nor does it stop with them.

They’re joined by men and women

caught in impossible situations of every imaginable –
and sometimes unimaginable – kind.

O God! Please!

Intervene!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“If we died with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

That’s a disconcerting thought, Jesus

at first.

I mean, the very idea of dying is disturbing.

Having company while I do it doesn’t help a whole lot.

But when I realize that that the One I’m dying with is You

identifying with what You did for me on the cross
and making the irrevocable decision to die to my sins

that’s just about the greatest death
I could possibly imagine.

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

“The small and the great are there…”
(Job 3:19)

The grave is the ultimate leveler, Jesus

claiming presidents, popes and paupers
cheaters, preachers, cowards and heroes
mothers, nuns and prostitutes
billionaires and bums

and oh, yeah – me

unless You come for Your Church first.

I don’t want to die.

But millions who’ve gone before me
felt the same.

I don’t get to choose.

You’ve already chosen it for me.

My only comfort is this:

I know You’ve chosen well.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…held in slavery by their fear of death.”
(Hebrews 2:15)

Death does that, Jesus

so long as I’m afraid to die.

Well…I am.

Some days a little
some days a lot.

I know better.

Because of my faith in You
I don’t have to fear death.

The moment I breathe my last here
I open my eyes there

with You
in heaven
forever.

That’s not the part I’m afraid of.

It’s the pain I may have to endure
to get there.
