Be filled with hope as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I hope to be restored…”
(Philemon 1:22)

Paul was talking about being restored to the church that met in his friends’ home, Jesus.

But those first five words can be prayed by all of us

including me.

You made it clear that following You is not only a joy…

but also requires me to bear a cross – of one kind or another.

Cross-bearing has to be done…but tears me down, Father.

In Your way and time:

Restore me!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You suffered…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14)

So have I, Jesus –

oh, not as badly as some of Your people…
but I’ve suffered more than I thought I would.

Not that You didn’t warn me!

You made it clear that as Your child
I’ve got to pick up my cross and follow You.

I just didn’t know it would be this heavy.
I didn’t know I would have to carry it so far

or so long.

But that’s okay –

‘cause You’re worth it.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“But I…”
(Jonah 2:9)

Those two words can be the start of something amazing, Jesus!

They’re absolutely perfect
when Satan sets one of his traps.

False teachers may attempt to lead me in suspect paths

But I will hold fast to Your Word
turning neither to the right nor to the left.

When the way becomes hard, others may turn their backs on You

But I will take up my cross
and follow You every step of the way.
