Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

It’s sure not by my work, Jesus.

Thank You, Holy Spirit!

My work is spotty.

Sometimes pathetic.

Even when I’m having what for me is a pretty obedient day

my track record says it won’t last.

Oh, I intend for it to!

I beg You to make it happen.

But time and again I drop the ball

and come crawling back to You

asking for forgiveness and mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus…”
(2 Timothy 2:10)

It’s not only about me, is it, Jesus?

Straight up? I confess:

I sometimes forget that.

Although I say differently – believe differently! –

my thoughts, words and actions reveal the stark truth:

I’ve got a lot of work to do
to become the person You’ve created me to be.

Okay. Them’s the facts.

Now…back to work.

Thank You for never, ever giving up on me!

Unashamedly plead with God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know the slander…”
(Revelation 2:9)

Thank You for understanding, Jesus!

because this isn’t merely people saying something negative about me.

This is slander – lying about me in a way that damages my reputation.

If my reputation is destroyed, my effectiveness is ruined.
People won’t believe me, won’t trust me.

Of course, that’s what happened when they crucified You, wasn’t it?

…until You rose from the dead!

Every time somebody slanders me, Jesus…

step in and resurrect my reputation!

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.
