Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with joy!

“…she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, ‘Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why.’ ‘Did I ask you for a son, my lord?’ she said. ‘Didn’t I tell you, “Don’t raise my hopes”?’”
(2 Kings 4:27-28)

You had worked a miracle for this woman, Jesus.

Now, she thought You had taken it away.

But it was only to set up everything

for an even greater miracle!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob…though destroyers have laid them waste…”
(Nahum 2:13)

When I’ve been laid waste, Jesus

I’m tempted to think I’m done.

Without You perhaps that would be the case.

But with You, in You, through You, because of You –
I always have another chance.

And because of Your love, mercy and might

I’m not stuck with second-best!

You have a way of blessing me infinitely beyond

my highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes.

Pray this Lazaroo with never-say-die faith:

“…when we enter the land…”
(Joshua 2:18)

I, too, have land to enter, Jesus –

the promises You have yet to fulfill
my dreams unrealized
my hopes currently dashed
my desires unmet
my plans not carried out
my fervent prayers unanswered.

I refuse to give up!

Not because I know better than You
not because of mere stubbornness
not because You owe me anything

but because the moment I throw in the towel and relinquish them

I may as well be dead.
