Be filled with hope, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“From this day on…”
(Haggai 2:18)

That’s my rallying cry, Jesus:

“From this day on!”

There’s not one thing I can do to erase the past.

It’s done.

No matter how much I wish I could

I can’t undo it.

True, I can repent, apologize, repair –

and with Your help I will!

But what energizes me and gives me hope

is that the next chapter of my life hasn’t been written.

I’m collaborating with You on it

today.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest repentance:

“…to present you…without blemish…”
(Colossians 1:22)

Well, that would certainly require one of Your greatest miracles, Jesus!

My blemishes are without number.

In fact, “blemish” is too small a word for what they are.

They’re disfigurements.

When I look in the mirror of my life

and dare to hold Your Image beside mine

I’m ashamed.

The one thing that gives me hope

is the certain knowledge of how much worse I’d be
if I hadn’t given myself to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in unshakable trust:

“Will not all of them taunt him…”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

Sometimes it can feel as though those taunts are aimed at me, Jesus

but not this time.

This prophecy is aimed at one of Your enemies.

This promise vindicates us
comforts us in our darkest hour.

The wicked will not keep pounding their chests

at our expense.

Knowing that quiets my spirit, gives me hope
enables me to stay on this straight, challenging path

You have stretched out before me.
