Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
(Revelation 3:10-11)

Thank You for this promise to the Church of Philadelphia, Jesus!

According to Your will, may we be that Church!

Make me increasingly, passionately faithful to You
during every remaining day You have ordained for me
on planet earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.”
(Proverbs 4:13-15)

As instructions go, Jesus

this is one of the best:

protecting me from horrific consequences
on earth…and eternally.

Help me hold on to this instruction and never let it go!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. Now I say…to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets…’ hold on to what you have until I come.’”
(Revelation 2:23-25)

O Jesus!

May I always be counted among those

who haven’t learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets
and who hold on to what I have till You come.

Pray this Lazaroo with bold determination:

“…hold to the teachings we passed on to you…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:15)

That’s the secret, isn’t it, Jesus?

If the priceless truths you shared with my elders are to benefit me
I’ve got to hold on to them with fierce tenacity!

The enemy of my soul will do everything he can

to pry them out of my grasp.

Then with equal fervor,

I’ve got to equip and inspire those who come after me
to hold on for dear life!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.”
(Hebrews 3:6)

I love being part of Your house, Jesus!

I long to be one of Your favorite reasons to remain faithful

as I hold on to my courage
during the worst times

and as I keep boasting about You
even on those occasions when my faith
has not yet become sight.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“May its morning stars become dark…”
(Job 3:9)

Because of his suffering, Jesus

Job curses the day of his birth.

Normally, birthdays are joyous occasions.

No more.
Not for Job.

His life has become too bitter.

Now he wants the day of his birth to become a bleak, dark day

a cause for mourning
the brightest stars extinguished.

But little does he know the happiness You have planned for him

if he will only hold on
a little longer.
