Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”
(1 Peter 2:11)

I can sense it, Jesus:

Whatever wrong I do with my body
harms my soul, my spirit, my 1on1 relationship with You.

So why do I cave in to these earthly temptations?

It’s because I fail to keep foremost in my mind
that this world is not my home.

Help me live like a citizen
of where I’m going to spend eternity!

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

“…God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his…’”
(2 Timothy 2:19)

Your Word is that foundation, Jesus

not because it’s in writing
not because it’s the Bible
but because it’s You.

You Are The Word.

That’s
Solid.

But what means the world to me is knowing I belong to You!

You know me.
You chose me.
You saved me.
I’m Yours.

Not merely for my time on this earth
but through all eternity!

You’re right:

That seals it!

Grasp it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.”
(Proverbs 3:34-35)

Much of my society has this reversed, Jesus.

They think proud mockers are strong, successful.
They envy them, aspire to be like them.

But the wise among us know better.

Today, their humility has brought them oppression

but tomorrow, eternal honor awaits!

If and when I’m forced to choose –

to have it today or have it tomorrow –

I choose forever in heaven with You!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:9-11)

You’ve given me eternal life, Jesus!

But I’m bound to such limited understanding
during my time on this earth.

Teach me, I beg You:

to walk in humble gratitude
by faith.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter gratitude:

“…by his grace…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

Nothing else, Jesus.

There’s no other way under heaven
that I could ever go to heaven.

By Your grace alone.

Not by my greatest effort.
Not by my most selfless sacrifice.
Not by my sincerest attempts to please You.

Only by Your grace

will I rise from death to share eternity with You
and all the saints who’ve gone before.

Grace! Grace! Your matchless grace!
Grace that is greater than all my sin.

Pray this Lazaroo with higher intent:

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by injustice! Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?”
(Habakkuk 2:12-13)

When the purpose is evil, Jesus

it never stands.

Doesn’t matter how hard they work.
Doesn’t matter how smart they are.
Doesn’t matter how much money they spend.

Purify all my purposes, LORD!

If I’m going to exhaust myself
I want it to count for eternity!

Everything You’ll do for me in the future.

My every sin forgiven.

I’m Your heir!
All You have is mine.

Eternity with You in heaven –
forever and ever and ever, without end.

And all of it – absolutely all of it –

Pray this Lazaroo with breathtaking anticipation:

“The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.”
(2 Chronicles 3:13)

These gold-covered, sculpted cherubim stretching 30 feet from wall to wall in the Most Holy Place had to be a stunning sight, Jesus!

but only a pale shadow of the mighty angels
who stand before Your throne in heaven!

What I see here is only a hint of the stunning beauty and majesty

that await my eyes and ears where I’ll spend eternity!

“…whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
(1 John 2:17)

Well, sign me up for Your will, Jesus!

I’ve come to the place where I don’t trust my will.
The only will I trust is Yours.

I don’t know enough to tell You which way I want to go.

As a matter of fact, I no longer care where I go
so long as I go where You want me to go.

Your will. Your way.

Always and forever!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Until the day breaks and the shadows flee…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

What a beautiful way to say it, Jesus!

“Until the day breaks…”
means Solomon’s wife desires to be loved all night long

“…and the shadows flee”
means she longs to be loved until high noon.

Me too, LORD! Me too!

And You do –

all day and all night
month after month
year after year

my whole life long until I depart this earth

to exult in Your love forever!
