Christ is RISEN! Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.”
(3 John 1:8)

It’s not about merely working together, is it, Jesus?

It’s working together for the truth.

Your Word is truth.

People who don’t honor Your Word

by believing it
by obeying it

have a different agenda
a different purpose for the work they do.

It’s not my responsibility to judge them

nor is it wisdom for me to show them the same hospitality

You reserve for those who follow You.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…refresh my heart in Christ.”
(Philemon 1:20)

There are a lot of ways I might try to get refreshed, Jesus:

take a shower.
down a delicious glass of iced tea.
experience the luxury of a good night’s sleep.

But nothing in this world compares

to the refreshment of my heart in You!

You fill me with spiritual energy

higher purpose
boundless hope.

To see You at work in my life and in the lives of those I love?

Priceless.

Pray this Lazaroo in constantly renewing trust:

“In the last days, God says…Your young men will see visions…”
(Acts 2:17)

Exciting stuff, Jesus!

This promise includes the newbies – those with little, if any experience

who have nevertheless sold out to you.

What hope this gives them!
What a sense of inclusion, purpose, empowerment!

Those with years of experience, who have paid their dues

should be thrilled as well.

Fresh ideas, fresh legs, fresh faith are no threat!

They’re Your answer to Your Godly old-timers’
fervent prayers.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser focus:

“But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.”
(James 1:25)

So let me get this straight, Jesus:

If I intend to experience sweet success
I dare not read my Bible aimlessly.

Instead, You want me to read it with singleness of purpose –
to discover exactly how You want me to live

then live it.
