Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4)

That’s not true only of Paul, is it, Jesus?

If I remain faithfully obedient to You
trials are bound to come.

Since I follow in Your footsteps
they are my destiny.

But that’s all right!

I count myself blessed
to suffer for You.

And this I know:

You’ve promised me eternal rewards
that will make it all worth it.

Pray this Lazaroo in total submission:

“All my enemies have heard of my distress…”
(Lamentations 1:21)

It travels among them in land speed record time, doesn’t it, Jesus?

“Did you hear? Did you hear? Did you hear?”

The one they despise got what they believe I deserve.

So be it.

The truth is, I deserve worse.

Maybe not for the reasons they suppose
but for reasons You full well know.

Maybe I’m being disciplined. Maybe I’m suffering for You.

I don’t know.

Either way…
thank You.
