Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.”
(Malachi 3:1)

You gave this revelation to Malachi, Jesus –

more than 400 years before it was fulfilled
in your cousin John the Baptist.

Your Way. Your Time.

Always perfect.

My way. My time.

Usually flawed!

May I always remember how much You know

and how little I know

how much You see
how little I see.

So when You do it differently than I would

on a different schedule

Help me trust You

completely.

Pray this Lazaroo with recognized desire:

“…keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.”
(Jude 1:21)

Paul said it, Jesus:

“If only for this life we have hope in Christ,
we are of all people most to be pitied.”

To paraphrase C.S. Lewis:

I find in myself a desire
that nothing in this world can satisfy.
Clearly, I’m meant for another world.

Send your angels to bring me there to You, Father

when my time has come.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.”
(Luke 1:57)

The miracle baby, Jesus!

John the Baptist – born to an elderly couple who couldn’t have children.

“When it was time,” indeed.

You made them wait that long to have this special child
because he would be the one to introduce You to the world:

as the Lamb of God.

Once he accomplished his purpose, he died.
His time came and went.

As will mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month…”
(Haggai 2:18)

Sometimes You deliberately keep me in the dark, Jesus –

for my own good.

But at other times – like now – You nail the very day.

The ninth month You’re referring to is Kislev.

This year 24 Kislev falls on my December 22nd.
Last year it fell on my December 2nd.

That’s because the Jewish calendar is lunar
and my western calendar is solar.

But all time

belongs solely to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
(Ephesians 2:10)

When I really begin to get hold of this truth, Jesus

it’s an amazing feeling.

You could have set me on planet earth 5,000 years ago.
You could have waited to bring me here 1,000 years from now.

But You didn’t

because You’ve got a whole list of things to accomplish through me

and my time to do them is now.
