Pray this Lazaroo with thanksgiving:

“I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.”
(Ephesians 3:14-15)

It all comes from You, Jesus!

No matter what we call ourselves

we will always be Your creation.

No matter how much we accomplish

it will always be with Your strength.

No matter how many good days we enjoy on this earth

You are the Giver of every one.

May I always remember…

and may my heart continually be filled with gratitude.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…this is not your resting place…”
(Micah 2:10)

Thanks for the reminder, Jesus.

This world is not my home.

You’ve placed me here for a purpose.

I can ignore it, reject it, do some of it
or give everything I’ve got –

in Your wisdom and strength
and with Your awesome blessing and favor

to fulfill it.

But regardless, when my turn is up

You’ll take me out.

The closer I get to my exit

the more I’m determined

to get ‘er done.

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

“They also repaired five hundred yards of the wall…”
(Nehemiah 3:13)

Five football fields, Jesus – more than a quarter of a mile…

…of wall!

No small feat.

But of course, that word, “repaired” means

that much of the wall was broken down.
Talk about discouraging. Overwhelming!

Then there’s that other word: “also.”

That tells me this wasn’t the only task staring them in the face.

But working in Your strength, power and protection, they did it!

So can I.

Pray this Lazaroo in unpolluted faith:

“…that we may live…in all…holiness.”
(1 Timothy 2:2)

I’m not trying to be flippant, Jesus, just honest:

I struggle to live in partial holiness.

Living in all holiness feels unreachable for me.

But that’s the goal, isn’t it?
I have to strive for it.

Well, one thing’s clear:

I can strive all I want in my own strength
and fail.

My only hope for success is to learn how to strive in the strength

that is Yours alone.

Beg God for His strength, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name and have not grown weary.”
(Revelation 2:3)

You’ll never say those words to me, Jesus.

Oh, maybe the perseverance part.
Through it all…I’m still here.

And the part about enduring hardships?
Yup. I’ve seen a few.

But that part about not growing weary?

I flunk.

Some days I catch myself whining and complaining about what’s going on

forgetting that You
are what’s going on.

Forgive me, Father!
