Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted commitment:

“…we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, ‘So I declared on oath in my anger, “They shall never enter my rest.”’”
(Hebrews 4:2-3)

Hearing Your Word is no good to me, Jesus

if I don’t believe it.

But I do! Thank God, I do!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.”
(Job 3:26)

You allowed Job to suffer in a way that few, if any of us have, Jesus!

All his children were killed at once
leaving him only his critical, heartless wife.

Without warning, he went from vast riches to total poverty
in a single day.

He went from being most respected to ridiculed.
Even his closest friends turned against him.

May I never again complain!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“…a foreigner…”
(Ruth 2:10)

Ruth isn’t the only one, Jesus.

I, too, am a foreigner.

This world is not my home!

Just about the time I forget that
behaving as though this world is it

You allow it
to rear its perverse, unfair, twisted head.

In deepest gratitude I lift my eyes back to You

my longing for heaven increased…doubled…tripled.

Only with You will I finally be at home.
Only with You will I know lasting rest, happiness, peace.

Pray this Lazaroo in longing belief:

“Then the two men started back.”
(Joshua 2:23)

When it comes to vacations, Jesus

many people believe it’s more fun to leave
than to start back.

But as healthy as a break can be

a person who loves their work
is eager to resume.

A person who loves their home
is thankful to return.

Help me truly embrace the calling You’ve placed on my life!

while remembering that heaven –

not this world –

is my true home.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…except for a short rest in the shelter.”
(Ruth 2:7)

I can’t work all the time, Jesus.

That’s not how You created me.

You made me in Your image

and You took a one-day-out-of-seven rest.

It’s instructive to note that Ruth took a short rest.

That’s all she – or I – need.

But it’s also important to remember

that she took advantage of a shelter
out from under the heat of the sun.

O God!

Will You be my Shelter?
