Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD.”
(Habakkuk 3:2)

You can do anything, Jesus.

Already, You’ve pretty much done everything.

Creating the heavens and earth was amazing.
So were Your virgin birth, healing the blind
walking on water, raising the dead
rising from Your tomb on the third day.

By comparison, my requests seem puny

but they’re a big deal to me.

I know You can.

With bated breath, I’m waiting and hoping

that You Will.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.”
(2 Corinthians 4:10-11)

That explains a lot, Jesus!

Not the explanation I was hoping for
but the one I fully embrace

confident that You know better than I do.

Pray this Lazaroo in total honesty:

“See, the Lord is coming…”
(Jude 1:14)

Oh, Jesus…

that’s what I want to see!

You’ve told me to be ready.

And I am.
On my good days.

But it’s hard to stay ready for something that’s taking thousands of years.

Part of me reasons that the odds are not great
that I’ll be alive when You return.

But You’ve told me to watch for Your coming.

Okay. I will.

Help me stay believing, hoping, expectant

wide-eyed and focused.
