Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.”
(Micah 4:3)

What a promise, Jesus!

Certain, in the last days to come true.

Oh, not because there’s even a hint now that such a thing can happen

but because when You declare it
it’s as good as done.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Nation will not take up sword against nation…”
(Isaiah 2:4)

We all long for that day, Jesus!

Well…those of us who love peace.

This is Your promise:

That day will come.

Millions are working and praying for it.

But it won’t be ours until the Last Day.
Nor will we bring it about.

You will.

Until then, thank You for the men, women, leaders and nations willing to take up swords

so the rest of us don’t have to.

Pray this Lazaroo in righteous hope:

“They will beat their…spears into pruning hooks.”
(Isaiah 2:4)

What a change of purpose, Jesus!

From an instrument intended to strike fear and bring death
to a tool that helps trees produce fruit that sustains life.

Do that with me, Father!

Take all my negative traits
sins, shortcomings
gaffes, blunders, goofs, failures

and transform them into skills, experiences and a heart of compassion

that equips and inspires men, women and children to know You

the only Giver of Life.
