Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.”
(Job 3:15)

That’s what a lot of people wish in the beginning, Jesus.

I too have wondered what it would be like

to live like those pictured on television
in movies, magazines, on the Internet

who have seemingly unlimited resources
to do whatever they desire.

But I have something better:

You.

Your resources are truly unlimited

and You’ve promised to provide me
with everything I need.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn assessment:

“Their land is full of silver and gold…”
(Isaiah 2:7)

But since when has that been enough, Jesus?

We work long hours for money and the things it will buy

then come to the end of the day

exhausted, empty, dissatisfied.

So we work even harder, longer

thinking the solution will be found in more

but it isn’t.

Sadly, only then do we stop, look around

and turn to You

the only one who can satisfy
my longing soul.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the power of God:

“…it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed…”
(1 Peter 1:18)

“It’s all about the money.”

That’s what people say, Jesus.

They may be right about some things
but they’re wrong about the one thing that matters most:

my eternal salvation.

No amount of silver or gold could pay the sin debt I’ve accumulated over my lifetime.

The cost of my redemption was unjust, unfair – outrageous:

Your blood, shed on the cross.
