“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you…”

Oh, do I need Your strength, Jesus!

Strength to obey You no matter what.
Strength to bear up under the hard times.
Strength to stay true to You during the good times.
Strength to overcome Satan’s temptations.
Strength to stay faithful to You…

right up to the moment You call me home.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient? Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze? Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?”
(Job 6:11-13)

Thank You for sharing Job’s words, Jesus!

Knowing how You blessed him after all this
and how beautifully his life turned out

it sure helps me
when I’m able to identify with his discouraged words!

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant gratitude:

“He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains. He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.”
(2 Chronicles 3:16-17)

Yes, Jesus!

Jakin: “He establishes.”
Boaz: “In Him is strength.”

Everything that lasts has been established by You.

In You…is my strength!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

That’s what kind of person seeks You, isn’t it, Jesus?

The humble.

Proud people don’t look to You for strength, protection, success.

They think they’ve got everything they need
right there in themselves.

One reason they believe that is because of the strength, protection and success they’ve already enjoyed.

They never stop to ask: “Where did all these blessings come from?”

May I never fail to seek You.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“…they went out…”
(3 John 1:7)

Sometimes that’s what I’ve gotta do, Jesus –

go out – even though I don’t know

what will happen
where it will lead
if I will succeed.

When You tell me to go

I need to get going.

I can ask why – after I get going.
I can tell You I don’t understand – after I get going.
I can confess that I don’t have enough strength – after I get going.

Regardless.
I’ve got to go out.

Ask God for grace, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…so they may become like me.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

Jeremiah wasn’t asking You to make his enemies wealthy, Jesus.

He wasn’t asking You to make them strong.
He wasn’t asking You to make them happy.

Jeremiah was pleading with You to make his enemies miserable!

…because that’s what He was.

I sure understand why he felt that way.

It’s incredibly hard to watch my enemies dance over my misfortune.

But You’ve given me a new command:

Love my enemies.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I have told the men not to touch you.”
(Ruth 2:9)

Thank You for Your protection, Jesus!

Ruth was a young widow, all alone
putting herself at great risk while she worked in the fields.

But You provided Boaz, a man of standing, integrity and strength

to step in and insure her safety.

Then You piled Your blessings even higher on these two faithful people –

as You always do

for those who seek You with all their hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor’s crown unless he competes according to the rules.”
(2 Timothy 2:5)

You’re telling me the same thing applies to me, aren’t You, Jesus?

If I want to win Heaven’s crown, Your one rule is pretty simple:

Believe in You.

Of course, if I truly believe in You,

I’ll love and obey You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength
and love my neighbor as myself.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your being:

“James, Peter and John, those esteemed as pillars…”
(Galatians 2:9)

I’d say so, Jesus!

James, your half-brother

author of the New Testament book that bears his name

Peter, one of Your twelve apostles

author of two New Testament books that bear his name

John, the beloved apostle

author of four New Testament books that bear his name

I’m no pillar in Your Church, Jesus

but I long to follow You as they did
with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.

Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…not see the first rays of dawn.”
(Job 3:9)

Some people never see the first rays of dawn, Jesus.

They’re fast asleep.

Others could if they wanted to

but they’re busy inside.

Still others can’t see the sun’s first rays or anything else

because they’re blind.

Those first rays are precious, Jesus!

May I never take them for granted.

They signify that You’ve granted me one more day

to serve You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.
