Category Archives: not afraid

Be humbly forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord.”
(2 Peter 2:10-11)

What a lesson, Jesus!

Even though You command me to resist the demonic work
of those powerful angels who followed Satan

because You created them
I’m to treat them with respect

as I do my earth-bound enemies.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid…”
(2 Peter 2:10)

Lack of fear can be a good thing, Jesus…

but not in this case.

Fear of doing wrong, knowing full well You’re watching

is the beginning of wisdom.

Most of us don’t have that fear nearly enough.

For some, it’s a lack of belief.

But for others of us
it’s knowing how much You love us!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”
(Proverbs 3:24-26)

Such is your promise to those who drink deeply of Your wisdom, Jesus

who seek to know and understand You and Your Word

with the full passion of their inmost being.

Pray this Lazaroo from a heart filled with hope:

“…he was afraid…”
(Galatians 2:12)

I’d boast that I’m never afraid, Jesus

but I’m afraid that wouldn’t be true. 😉

What is true is…

I’m not afraid of some of the things that scare other people.

I know You’ve got my back

and my front
and my sides
and my top
and my…underneath carriage. 😉

But there’s one thing I am afraid of:

Disappointing You.

You’ve done so much for me!

All I want to bring You is joy.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-engendered courage:

“Do not be afraid of them…”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

You don’t want me to be afraid, do You, Jesus?

In part, I know that’s because You love me.
When I suffer, You suffer.

But it’s more than that.

You don’t want me to be afraid
because I have You!

With You on my side –

or rather, with me on yours –

there is absolutely no reason on Your green earth

for me to be caught trembling in my boots.

Not ever.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you.”
(Philippians 1:27-28)

Normally, not being frightened in any way by those who oppose me would be an impossibility, Jesus.

But these circumstances change that.

Sharing salvation for all who trust in You!

How can You not protect me while I’m doing that?

Doing it in harmony with all who follow You.

With You and them
I’m not alone.

 Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust: 

“…when we were with him…”
(2 Peter 1:18)

I know You’re always with me, Jesus.

But the question is:
“Am I always with You?”

Technically, yes.

If You’re always with me
then by definition I’m always with You.

But do I always recognize that reality?

No. I don’t.

If I did, how could I sin like I do –

knowing full well
You’re right there with me?

When I realize You’re here – right now –

how can I ever feel lonely or afraid?
