Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer.”
(Revelation 2:10)

That’s a tough command to obey, Jesus!

That word, “suffer” gets my attention.

For You to tell me not to be afraid of it is a challenge.

I don’t like to suffer.

That’s like telling me, “I’m about to hit you, but just relax.”

Not my strong suit.

But You’re encouraging me to trust You

because You’ll make sure
I’ll come out better on the other side.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered assessment:

“…look upon my suffering.”
(Lamentations 1:18)

Sometimes I agree with Jeremiah, Jesus –

I want people to know what I’m going through

so they can pray
so I can get a little sympathy
so they’ll cut me some slack in my work.

At other times, not so much.

I prefer to appear strong, competent
unfazed by the challenges in my life.

Of course, You know how weak and needy I really am

as, I suspect…do most of them.
