Be encouraged and corrected, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this against you…”
(Revelation 2:18-20)

You’re the Ultimate Encourager, Jesus!

But when there’s something I’m doing wrong, please tell me.

I want to know.

Examine your heart as you pray this Lazaroo:

“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it”
(James 2:14-16)

Impossible to argue, Jesus.

I can’t please you with my words alone.

I have to commit to obedient action.

Pray this Lazaroo with all your heart:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you…: ‘There is…no love…’”
(Hosea 4:1)

Of course, there’s love of a kind, Jesus…

just not true love.

We love things –

often, the wrong things.

We love what we can get out of people

instead of loving the people who give.

We say we love You

but words are cheap.

To love You means to obey You.

and that’s expensive!

Of course, it also pays off –

for those who have faith.

Pray this Lazaroo in all-out passion:

“…we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law…”
(Galatians 2:16)

You want me to try hard to please You, Jesus!

To try really, really hard
to give it my all.

But that’s not what saves me, is it?

It’s faith. Only faith.

Because as hard as I try

I fall short.

And sometimes – God forgive me!

I don’t try very hard at all.

Pray this Lazaroo with, “Now, I get it!” faith:

“…God…has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come.”
(Daniel 2:28)

I know You’re always right, just and fair, Jesus!

So why did you show the future to a heathen king?
There are a whole lot of righteous people who don’t get a peek!

Hmmm.

Is it to demonstrate that everyone belongs to You –
the good, bad and ugly?

Oh. Wait a minute!

Through Daniel and this sketchy king
You’re revealing the future to all of us!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They look like flaming torches…”
(Nahum 2:4)

That’s not what they were, Jesus

but it’s sure what those invading chariots looked like.

When fear grips my heart…when I’m under attack…

my mind can play tricks on me
my emotions can skew what I perceive.

Deliver me from that weakness, LORD!

May my well-founded faith in You be so strong
that when Satan launches his offensive

I am calmer, braver and sharper than usual –

my every move
guided by You.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable obedience:

“…you shall not enter it…”
(Deuteronomy 1:37)

What a devastating thing to hear, Jesus!

Moses took his life in his hands to return to Egypt
in order to lead Your people to the Promised Land.

When the people sinned at its border
he had to endure 40 years of trials in the desert.

Then it was time to go in.
Without Moses.

Because he broke faith with You.

What’s my promised land on this earth, Father?

Help me be faithful!

Allow your excitement to build, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“… the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”
(Revelation 2:7)

Because Adam and Eve sinned, Jesus

You banished them from the Garden of Eden.

Our sin became so great that You caused a flood to destroy the earth

and with it, the Garden of Eden.

Oh, but that paradise and tree of life on earth

was only a copy of the one in heaven!

reserved for all
who put their faith, hope and trust
in You.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith –”
(Ephesians 2:8)

It’s being sure of what I hope for, isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s being certain of what I don’t yet see

taking Your Word over what my senses report
above what others say
in spite of the circumstances.

You love that!

It means I trust You no matter what.

I’m not hedging my bets, Father.

Everything I’ve got – past, present and future –
is all on You.
