Pray this Lazaroo in brokenness and trust:

“We sent Timothy…to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

Destined for them?

You know I don’t like to hear this, Jesus!

When I’m wholeheartedly following You

I wish You would reward me
by sparing me from the heartaches of life!.

So why don’t You?

Because the testing of my faith produces perseverance

which enables me to fully mature in You.

Be encouraged and corrected, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this against you…”
(Revelation 2:18-20)

You’re the Ultimate Encourager, Jesus!

But when there’s something I’m doing wrong, please tell me.

I want to know.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…you continue…”
(3 John 1:3)

Many people start, Jesus.

Few continue.

Continuing requires character.

It means I keep going no matter what.
It means I stay the course in spite of how I feel.

It means I set my jaw and refuse to be pushed off track

even when it appears what I’m doing
isn’t going to pay off.

To continue requires not only everything I’ve got

but forces me to lean on You
every moment of the day.

 Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul: 

“You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name…”
 (Revelation 2:3)

A lot of people have persevered over a long period of time, Jesus.

Many have endured unimaginable hardships.

All for naught.

What I do doesn’t matter nearly as much

as why I do it.

Whatever I do for my fame, my comfort, my pleasure

has a very short shelf life.

But when I hang in there without quitting

when I go through hell on earth

for You

the rewards are eternal.
