Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“Give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid.”
(Haggai 2:18)

What a day that was, Jesus!

So much happiness, so much hope, so much rejoicing.

Times of beginning are glorious.

After all, most people never start!

Sadly, however, the rest of the story is this:

Far more people begin than finish.

I long to do both, Father!

A great start…all the way straight through to a great finish.

I’m in Your hands.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
(Luke 1:45)

You always fulfill Your promises, Jesus –

but in Your way and time.

When my schedule conflicts with Yours

I’m tempted to think it’s never going to happen.

When my way of doing it blinds me to Your superior plan

I can totally miss what You’re up to.

O God!

Help me rest in the certainty of Your promises
with eyes that see.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“In his anger against Israel the LORD gave them into the hands of raiders who plundered them.”
(Judges 2:14)

I don’t want that, Jesus.

It’s bad enough when You have to take me to the woodshed.

But I’d far rather be in Your hands
than in the clutches of others.

It’s not that Your punishment is weak.

It isn’t.

But as much as Your discipline hurts, it’s saturated with mercy

never even close to as much
as I deserve.
