Pray this Lazaroo in brokenness and trust:

“We sent Timothy…to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

Destined for them?

You know I don’t like to hear this, Jesus!

When I’m wholeheartedly following You

I wish You would reward me
by sparing me from the heartaches of life!.

So why don’t You?

Because the testing of my faith produces perseverance

which enables me to fully mature in You.

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?
