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 never-say-die grit:

“If we endure…”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

That’s one big “if,” isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s one thing to start strong.
I’ve done that plenty of times.

But it’s another thing entirely to keep going through the slog of the middle

all the way to the finish line.

The initial burst of excitement wanes.
There’s pushback…there are setbacks.
My run slows to a walk…a trudge…a crawl.

I’ve started far more times than I’ve finished.

But by Your grace
not this time.

Pray this Lazaroo…overwhelmed:

“He will give strength to his king…”
(1 Samuel 2:10)

That’s a great promise, Jesus

I’m really happy for the kings You’ve chosen.
They certainly need Your strength.

If only I were a king!

Wait a minute…

I am!

You’ve elevated me way above my station.

You’ve made it clear: I will reign in Your kingdom!

Oh, not on my own.
In and through You.

You’ve promised:

If I endure, I’ll reign with You –

not temporarily –

but forever and ever.

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

“…teach the older women…”
(Titus 2:3)

Older women know a lot, Jesus.

They’ve seen a lot. Heard a lot. Felt a lot.

They’ve lived through historical events others have only read about.

They’ve experienced some of life’s best moments
and endured some of life’s worst.

They’re absolutely loaded with information, insights, secrets

to share with anyone who asks.

But they still need to be taught from Your Word

as does every person on earth
who still draws a breath.

Pray this Lazaroo in stubborn faith:

“Teach the older men to be…sound…in endurance.”
(Titus 2:2)

By the time these men reach their advanced years, Jesus

You expect them to exhibit this amazing trait of endurance.

Of course, in many cases, that has to be taught

because none of likes what it means:

hardship, disappointment
waiting, waiting, waiting.

The only way to teach it or learn it

is to believe or discover
that when You promise it

in Your perfect way and time
You come through.
