Pray this Lazaroo in loving gratitude:

“But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:6)

These kinds of relationships are rare, Jesus.

If I have anything like this, help me cherish it
and never take it for granted.

If I don’t have anything like it

please bring this blessing into my life!

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-empowered determination:

“…Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:6)

O Jesus.

When You show me that somebody I love

loves me, too

and that their love for me is only surpassed

by their deep, abiding faith that causes them
to live in obedience to You

it doesn’t get much better than that!

May that be the report that comes to them

about me!

Pray this Lazaroo in the assurance only God can give:

“Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.”
(Matthew 4:23-24)

Every disease, Jesus

and every person.

There’s no part of my body You can’t heal

because You’re the one who made it.

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

“…women are to be worthy of respect…”
(1 Timothy 3:11)

So are the men, Jesus.

We’re not merely to demand respect.
You expect us to earn it.

How?

By the way we speak
by the way we act.

by the way we live our lives wholeheartedly for You – 

staying in Your Word
praying through the day
loving and encouraging Your people

sharing Your Good News
with those who don’t know You

showing others the same mercy
we ourselves have received from You.

Pray this Lazaroo in faith-filled anticipation:

“As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul was able to say that about Your believers in Thessalonica, Jesus…

may You be able to say that through me!

Work through me and those I love and with whom I serve

to spread Your message rapidly!

May the good news of Your salvation be honored

and may many come to faith in You!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Those two don’t always go together, Jesus.

When the good news about You spreads rapidly
people who prefer to remain in their sins get upset!

You tend to mess with their status quo.

On the other hand, when all those people are finding You

they testify!

They tell of Your wonders
sing your praises

and that brings due honor to You.

Friday, May 5, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered understanding:

“…if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

That explains so much, Jesus –

why some people instantly respond to the good news about You
and others in the same room at the same time reject Your love.

With everything in me:

Thank You for lifting the veil from my mind!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’”
(Luke 2:8-10)

Sometimes when You show up I’m afraid, Jesus

because I mistake what You’re doing for something bad.

But it isn’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery…”
(Ephesians 3:9)

This isn’t only Paul’s assignment, Jesus

it’s mine, too.

Your good news isn’t hard to tell.

But it is hard to explain.

Why would the God of heaven come to earth as a man

and give Your life on the cross to save a wretch like me?

There’s one explanation and one explanation only:

You love us with a depth, passion and ferocity

that none of us can begin to comprehend.

Pray this Lazaroo with solemn determination:

“…since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience…God again set a certain day, calling it ‘Today.’ This he did when a long time later he spoke through David… ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.’”
(Hebrews 4:6-7)

A hard heart can cost me everything, Jesus!

It can ruin the relationships I desire with my friends and family

and cripple my relationship with You.
