Pray this Lazaroo in costly faith:

“…for the sake of his body…”
(Colossians 1:24)

Coming only days after Good Friday, Jesus…

it would be easy to think Paul is referring to your physical body,
beaten and crucified to pay for my sins.

But no.

Paul is talking about Your body of believers
and what he willingly suffers in their behalf.

Do I have that kind of love and compassion for Your Church?

Do I consider the sacrifices I make for them

a hardship…or a privilege?

Pray this Lazaroo with fiery determination:

“…sighing has become my daily food…”
(Job 3:24)

Job didn’t get it, Jesus.

He thought he had done everything right.

But then, in one horrible day, he lost it all.

Not knowing how proud You were of him
he concluded You had betrayed him.

But You hadn’t.

You chose Job to prove to Satan that no matter what happened to him

Job would never turn against You.

When I’m confronted with Satan’s temptation

may I too pass the test!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…they realized they were naked…”
(Genesis 3:7)

That’s…quite a realization, Jesus.

It’s not that they didn’t know what they looked like before.
It’s just that now, they felt vulnerable, embarrassed, ashamed.

What a loss!

But then, that’s what sin always does.
It promises much, delivers little.

Actually…that’s only partially true.

It never delivers what was promised

but it does dump on the sinner a ton!

…of heartache, disillusionment and pain.

Satan keeps selling

but this time
I’m not buying.

Pray this Lazaroo…with transparency:

“I wrote you out of great distress…”
(2 Corinthians 2:4)

So much for the “super Christians” who say that no matter what happens

I should never become upset, Jesus.

As though my lack of concern is an indication of faith

and my emotional upset means I don’t trust You.

Not true!

If there ever was a “super Christian,” Paul was it
and he had no problem admitting that he was in “great distress.”

Perhaps “super Christianity”

begins with honesty.
