Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…your faith and hope are in God.”
(1 Peter 1:21)

Yes they are, Jesus!

You died on the cross to pay for my sins.
You rose from the dead, proving You’re God.

How could I not put all my faith and hope in You?

You’ve promised that because You live forever
so will I.

I’m counting on it!

I’ve put all my eggs in Your basket
staked everything I have on You –

and that’s why I’m filled with hope.

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

“…refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
(Matthew 2:18)

If someone I loved truly ceased to exist

I’d refuse to be comforted too, Jesus!

But there’s hope for everyone I love

who’s put their trust in You.

You’re the Giver of Eternal Life!

For now I may have to go without seeing them
but I know I’ll rejoin them in heaven.

With You, in You, through You, because of You

it’s never “Goodbye.”
It’s: “See you later.”

Pray this Lazaroo in confident belief:

“Arise…”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

That’s what You did for the world and for me, Jesus:

You arose.

Because You did

I will.

That takes the stinger out of the wasp of death!

To know that death is not the end
but the beginning

is the greatest gift of my life:

Life.

Eternal life!

My body may be buried here

but my spirit will soar forever with You in heaven
to be joined one day by my transformed body.

Pray this Lazaroo in thrilled anticipation:

“…the same fate overtakes them both.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:14)

That’s the way it looks to us down here under the sun, Jesus.

No matter how gifted and successful the wise person
no matter how evil and irresponsible the fool

both die.

Meaningless.
Depressing.

But that’s not how the story ends!

Thanks to what You did for me on the cross

my life on this earth is the first word
in the first chapter

of an adventure that has no end.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
(Hosea 2:23)

Is there any greater joy, Jesus?

than to share You with a friend, neighbor,
family member, coworker, stranger

and discover You’ve used me to draw them to Yourself?

to have them unashamedly declare in grateful worship:

“You are my God!”?

No matter how pleasurable, meaningful or important

nothing holds greater weight
none has deeper significance

because eternal life in heaven
eternal suffering in hell

were hanging in the balance.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The LORD…makes alive…”
(1 Samuel 2:6)

You don’t merely allow life to happen, Jesus
Nor do You simply watch it happen.

You make it happen.

In fact, if You don’t create it

it doesn’t happen.

I’m alive because You caused me to be here

…as is true for every person on earth.

And now, through my trust in You –

Your death on the cross in my behalf

Your burial
Your resurrection

You’ve wrought something totally new:

I’m alive forevermore.
