Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart…”
(Colossians 2:2)

What an awesome goal, Jesus!

That’s who I long to be to those around me:

an encouragement.

But it’s not merely saying a nice word or two, is it?

It’s encouraging people’s hearts

letting them know I truly care about them
being there for them when they’re down

telling them the truth they need to hear
in a way that gives them direction and hope.

Because that’s the kind of encouragement I need!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…encourage the young men to be self-controlled.”
(Titus 2:6)

Of course, all of us need to be self-controlled, Jesus

not just young men

but also young women, older women, older men.

Perhaps that’s because it’s harder for a young man to learn…

not to mention so very important.

I love the word, “encourage,” though!

Not simply a gruff command

but using words that explain
offer helpful examples
give incentive
inspire hope

letting these young men know:

They can do this!

…and so can I.
