Pray this Lazaroo with sacrificial love:

“The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. They beat me, they bruised me; they took away my cloak, those watchmen of the walls! Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you—if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love.”
(Song of Songs 5:7-8)

Would I do that for You, Jesus –

endure beating, bruising, abuse because of my love for You?

I’d better!

because that’s what You did because of Your love for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears?”
(Malachi 3:2)

In Your strength, Jesus

It is the passionate desire and firm intention
of my mind, will and heart

to stand for You
come what may.

Of course, that raises a humbling, terrifying question:

If I’m not obeying You in everything now
who am I to believe I will stand for You then?

Pray this Lazaroo in sober anticipation:

“But who can endure the day of his coming?”
(Malachi 3:2)

I will, Jesus.

So will every person who has put their trust in You.

Nor will we merely endure it.

We will rejoice!
Celebrate!
Triumph!

But those who’ve rejected You?

Those who refused to make You Lord of their lives?
They won’t be able to endure it.

They’ll weep!
Mourn!
Wail!

and be thrown into the fiery furnace of burning sulfur
where they will writhe in anguish forever.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Then Solomon said, ‘The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud’…”
(2 Chronicles 6:1)

I guess that’s something You told Solomon, Jesus

because that statement appears nowhere else in the Bible.

But I’m so thankful to hear it –

through every hard, torturous, dark cloud day I’m called to endure.

You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

That means so much on my good days
but it means a thousand times more on the bad.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him…”
(Colossians 2:6)

You didn’t promise, Jesus

that those who claim to believe in You will be saved.

It’s one thing to claim it
a totally different thing to live it.

You’ve declared that those who endure to the end

are those who will be saved.

I’ve made my start with You.

I intend to stay true to You
till my final breath.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
(Revelation 3:10-11)

Thank You for this promise to the Church of Philadelphia, Jesus!

According to Your will, may we be that Church!

Make me increasingly, passionately faithful to You
during every remaining day You have ordained for me
on planet earth.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:14)

Well, it’s working, Jesus.

I fear You!

Not because I think You don’t love me.

I know You do.

It’s just that You Are so Awesome! So Powerful!

You’re Bigger than big, Wiser than wise.

I love that You and I are close – 1on1.

But Your attributes are so mind-boggling
that I can’t help but tremble in Your Presence.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding anticipation:

“…the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.”
(Daniel 2:44)

That’s my kingdom, Jesus!

Not interested in any of these kingdoms on earth.
Every one of them is doomed.

No, because of my faith in You alone

You’ve called me into Your Kingdom of Light
which has no end!

Hallelujah!

Never forget! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time. But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran off…At this, he saddled his donkey and went…in search of his slaves.”
(1 Kings 2:38-40)

Solomon warned Shimei not to leave the city, Jesus!

After three years, the warning had faded in his mind…

but not in Solomon’s.

Shimei’s faded memory cost him his life.

It doesn’t matter how long ago You tell me something, does it, Father?

Your Word still stands.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter reliance on God:

“…be like…a young stag on the rugged hills.”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

This is truly intimate, sacred lovers’ language, Jesus!

But this kind of energy in the face of challenge
is exactly what I long for!

There’s no escaping it:

You lead me to rugged hills!

In Your wisdom and power

You call me to climb them, endure them, conquer them.

If I’m to succeed, I’m going to need a double helping

of Your spiritual version of young stag strength! 😉
