Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.”
(Song of Songs 4:9)

You have stolen my heart, Jesus!

with one Promise from Your Word

followed by a thousand more

with Your death on the cross for me

followed by Your resurrection
and the certainty that because You live
I will live forever with You also.

Correction:

You didn’t steal my heart.
It was Yours before time began.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’ But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.”
(John 2:19, 21-22)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

my body, too, is a temple.

And though the ravages of life on this earth can destroy it

in Your power I will be raised
to live with you forever!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“And the Lord God said, ‘The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.’ So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden…”
(Genesis 3:22-23)

You want us to live forever, Jesus

but not on this earth.

The longer we live on this planet

the way it is

the more we understand why!

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude:

“…what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.”
(Psalm 8:4-5)

Yes, You did, Jesus –

because You love us.
You created us in Your Image.

And because we sinned against You – every last one of us!

You came to this earth to pay for our sins with Your own Life

so we could live with You forever.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
(1 John 2:17)

Well, sign me up for Your will, Jesus!

I’ve come to the place where I don’t trust my will.
The only will I trust is Yours.

I don’t know enough to tell You which way I want to go.

As a matter of fact, I no longer care where I go
so long as I go where You want me to go.

Your will. Your way.

Always and forever!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“He called you to this…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

When some people hear the gospel, Jesus –

that You were born to a virgin
lived a sinless life, teaching and performing miracles
were crucified and rose from the dead
to save from their sins all who believe
so they can live forever with You in heaven –

they reject it.

But I didn’t!

When I heard that amazing good news

I knew it was true
and I believed!

because You called me.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying certainty:

“…through the…enduring word of God.”
(1 Peter 1:23)

A lot of things come and go, Jesus

but Your Word stays.

With every passing year

the words of most become increasingly irrelevant.

But with every passing millennium

Your Word is proven perfect
over and over again.

Since by faith in You I’m going to live forever

I may as well live by the only Word
that does the same.

The grass withers and the flowers fall

but Your Word endures forever.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
(Matthew 2:18)

If someone I loved truly ceased to exist

I’d refuse to be comforted too, Jesus!

But there’s hope for everyone I love

who’s put their trust in You.

You’re the Giver of Eternal Life!

For now I may have to go without seeing them
but I know I’ll rejoin them in heaven.

With You, in You, through You, because of You

it’s never “Goodbye.”
It’s: “See you later.”

Pray this Lazaroo in confident belief:

“Arise…”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

That’s what You did for the world and for me, Jesus:

You arose.

Because You did

I will.

That takes the stinger out of the wasp of death!

To know that death is not the end
but the beginning

is the greatest gift of my life:

Life.

Eternal life!

My body may be buried here

but my spirit will soar forever with You in heaven
to be joined one day by my transformed body.
