Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
(Revelation 2:10)

I know Your promise is true, Jesus!

It motivates me.

But knowing that being faithful to You might lead me to be tortured to death

puts a damper on my enthusiasm.

That may not be the path You’ve chosen for me

but why not?
Countless millions of Your followers have been martyrs.

So if it is…

help me remain faithful.

Be dumbfounded as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they are…faithless…”
(Romans 1:31)

That’s an insupportable state to be in, Jesus.

To have no faith in You is not only unintelligent.

It’s foolish.
It’s also blind, dumb, deaf, unfeeling, tasteless.
It’s unthinking and unthinkable.
It’s stubborn, hardhearted, hardheaded, mulish.

And those are their best traits.

A person who has no faith in You is giving up everything worthwhile

in exchange for everything that’s worthless.

A faithless man or woman can’t be followed, can’t be believed

can’t be trusted.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you…Then you will win favor and a good name…”
(Proverbs 3:3-4)

Wow. That’s pretty powerful, Jesus.

I usually think about love and faithfulness
being a blessing to others.

But now, You’re reminding me:
It’s a blessing to me, as well.

That’s so much like You!

Every time I do something to please You
or do something for others because You tell me to

it ends up helping me.

I really can’t out-give You!

(Hebrews 3:2)

That’s how faithful You Are, Jesus

that’s how faithful I want to be!

When it comes to Your house of worship on this earth

may I take care of her
do right by her
devote my best to her.

May I treat with reverence the building in which I worship –

whether brick, stone, stucco, siding, adobe, corrugated metal, canvas

under a tree

“He was faithful to the one who appointed him…”
(Hebrews 3:2)

The writer is talking about You, Jesus –

faithful to the Father who appointed You!

In light of the fact that You were persecuted, tortured and crucified

that’s faithfulness unlike anything I’ve been called to do.

Nevertheless, I want to follow Your example.

I want to be faithful to the one who appointed me:

You.

I hope it doesn’t involve torture and crucifixion

but whatever it requires…

be my strength!

I love Your Name, Jesus!

Please spread Your protection over me.

Having said that

I confess that I don’t love Your Name nearly enough.

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!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the unfaithful will be torn from it.”
(Proverbs 2:22)

Torn from what, Jesus?

Well, specifically, the land they live on.

But that could have broader meaning, couldn’t it?

Not everyone is a landowner.

But we all have something or someone that represents home to us.

That’s what the unfaithful will be torn from, isn’t it?
the very thing that means the most to them.

I need to stop applying this to other people, don’t I?

Help me be faithful!

Pray this Lazaroo in determined belief:

“…she continued to follow Mordecai’s instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up.”
(Esther 2:20)

But she was now queen, Jesus!

She didn’t have to do what Mordecai said.

Besides, he was only her cousin who took her in after the death of her parents.

But she had lived long enough under Mordecai’s care
to see that he was a true man of God.

O LORD!

May I be such a light for those around me!
