Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4-5)

Persecutions are scary things, Jesus.

In this, I’m like Paul:

When someone I love
is battling through a horrible experience
my biggest concern is the impact on their faith.

To those enduring the devastation of Satan’s vicious attacks

help me be a blessing!

Pray this Lazaroo in respectful awe:

“So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul longed to return to the believers in Thessalonica, Jesus

but Satan blocked him.

We don’t know how or why.

But You either let it happen or caused it to happen
because Satan can thwart no plan of Yours!

Was sending Timothy in his place second best?

No.

You’re Sovereign.

That was Your plan all along.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So when we could stand it no longer…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

I love knowing that Paul had that emotion, Jesus!

But it was more than mere emotion, wasn’t it?
You were moving on his heart to do something about it –

which is exactly what he did.

Work through my emotions too, LORD!

May they not be unreliable, leading me astray.
May they instead be guided by You

goading me, prompting me, pushing me, driving me

to do the very things You’ve called me to do!
