Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-empowered determination:

“…Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:6)

O Jesus.

When You show me that somebody I love

loves me, too

and that their love for me is only surpassed

by their deep, abiding faith that causes them
to live in obedience to You

it doesn’t get much better than that!

May that be the report that comes to them

about me!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority…to the emperor, as the supreme authority…”
(1 Peter 2:13)

This one’s hard to do, Jesus

whether the supreme authority is an evil dictator
or somebody I voted against.

But it has nothing to do with them, does it?

You command me to submit to them
for Your sake.

So for your sake – when it comes to preference –

I will.

But if they ever require me to disobey You

they can take a hike.

Admit it – as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:11-12)

One more strong reminder, Jesus:

No matter how self-sufficient I feel
I’m not going to do as well all by myself.

No matter how antisocial my personality
sooner or later I’m gonna need somebody.

Please lead me to the right somebody.

Be greatly encouraged as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I have heard the insults of Moab and the taunts of the Ammonites, who insulted my people and made threats against their land.”
(Zephaniah 2:8)

That’s all I need to know, Jesus.

When somebody targets me, I’m not alone.
You know the ins and outs of their insidious plans.

I’m not the best of Your people.

Not by a long shot.

But I belong to You – with every fiber of my being.

That means You take their actions against me Personally.

That being the case
I like my chances.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:3-4)

And so we’re blessed with another uplifting word from Solomon, Jesus.

For somebody so wise
he sure was in a snit of depression.

But he was almost right about one thing:

People in heaven are definitely happier
than those of us still on earth!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“The Gershonites are to do all that needs to be done with these things…carrying or doing other work…This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the tent of meeting. Their duties are to be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.”
(Numbers 4:26-28)

Somebody had to do it, Jesus.

The Gershonites were it.

My guess?

To carry all those heavy items they had to be pretty strong.

When You assign me a job
You always equip me to do it.
