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!

Pray this Lazaroo with determined desire:

“Yet the people still came…”
(Mark 1:45)

So many reject Your words, Jesus

yet the people still come.

So many of Your followers set bad examples

yet the people still come.

You command us to give up our favorite sins

yet the people still come.

You warn us that there’s a cross for us to bear

yet the people still come.

Satan is doing his best to turn me away

yet I still come to You – my only Hope.
