Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…the devil will put some of you in prison to test you…”
(Revelation 2:10)

Not what they wanted to hear, Jesus…

but they had to be thankful for Your advance warning
so they could prepare themselves for what was coming.

Of course, not everybody can handle knowing such things in advance!

Some of us would prefer to be happily oblivious until it hits.

Please give me a heads-up when You know I need it

and supernatural grace when disaster strikes.

Pray this Lazaroo in stubborn faith:

“Teach the older men to be…sound…in endurance.”
(Titus 2:2)

By the time these men reach their advanced years, Jesus

You expect them to exhibit this amazing trait of endurance.

Of course, in many cases, that has to be taught

because none of likes what it means:

hardship, disappointment
waiting, waiting, waiting.

The only way to teach it or learn it

is to believe or discover
that when You promise it

in Your perfect way and time
You come through.

Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“The LORD sends poverty and wealth…”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

A lot of people don’t want to hear that, Jesus

…at least, not the first part.

They like the idea of You as the Giver of wealth, prosperity, plenty

they don’t much care for any reference to You
as the Giver of poverty, hardship, want.

So why do both come from You?

Probably because – in Your wisdom –
everything comes from You

the things we like
and the things we don’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“She was taken to King Xerxes in the royal residence in the tenth month…”
(Esther 2:16)

How demeaning, Jesus –

to be plucked from her home
deprived of her rights

trained for months in the King’s harem
delivered to the king for acceptance or rejection.

And You were working through all of it!

positioning her to become queen to save the lives of Your people

just as You are working through my hardships and humiliations

to accomplish Your eternal good.

 Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul: 

“You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name…”
 (Revelation 2:3)

A lot of people have persevered over a long period of time, Jesus.

Many have endured unimaginable hardships.

All for naught.

What I do doesn’t matter nearly as much

as why I do it.

Whatever I do for my fame, my comfort, my pleasure

has a very short shelf life.

But when I hang in there without quitting

when I go through hell on earth

for You

the rewards are eternal.
