Pray this Lazaroo with inexpressible gratitude:

“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.”
(Hebrews 4:9-11)

I rest, Jesus –

from my futile work of attempting to earn my salvation.

I can’t – no matter how hard I try.

I confess that my faith in You –

Your death, burial and resurrection –

is my only hope for eternal life!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Solomon began to build…”
(2 Chronicles 3:1)

I’ve begun a few things myself, Jesus

though I haven’t always finished.

It’s painful to start something, full of hope and promise

only to run into an obstacle
I’m not willing to pay the price to overcome.

That kind of shame and embarrassment

tempts me to not start anything
so I’ll never fail.

But that’s not true, is it?

The one failure bigger than failing to finish
is failing to try.
