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

“I hope…”
(Philemon 1:22)

So do I, Jesus!

I have hopes very similar to Paul’s, when he wrote those words.

Like Paul, I envision being able to do some things that seem good to me

but I’m not certain they’re in Your plan.

Of course, You know what’s best.

I don’t.

What seems good to me may be bad…or second-best.
What seems bad to me may turn out to be awesome.

Help me fully, thankfully embrace whichever You choose.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The Sovereign LORD has spoken…”
(Amos 3:8)

When You speak, Jesus

That’s it.

No more debate.

There can be questions, seeking to understand.
But there’d better be no one arguing.

God help those who disagree
thinking they know better!

It’s not merely that You know what’s best.

It’s Your title: “Sovereign LORD” –

which means the reason You know what’s going to happen

is that You have all power to make it happen

while granting us the free will we crave.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…those who long for death that does not come…”
(Job 3:21)

It’s pretty easy for human beings to kill themselves, Jesus

if that’s what they really want to do.

But our lives are not our own, are they?

You’re the Life-Giver…
and the Life-Taker.

Only You know when it’s best for me to check in…

and check out.

I’m here for a season to do Your will.

Only when my work is done
will I see Your Face.
