Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…Jesus Christ…will be with us in truth…”
(2 John 1:3)

That’s the only place You will ever be with us, isn’t it, Jesus?

In truth.

You Are the Truth –

the Truth who sets me free.

Of course, the truth isn’t the only place You go.

You leave all the good people
in search of the one who is lost.

Well, not exactly.

You’re God.
You can do things we can’t.

You have a way of staying while You go.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn warning:

“They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:10)

That’s interesting, Jesus…

I thought the way to be saved was to trust You.
And it is.

But if I understand You correctly

if I don’t love the truth
I will never reach the point of trusting You.

A lover of truth

sometimes has to endure correction, hardship, even humiliation
to get it.

Which is why some people

refuse to love the truth.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…walk in the truth.”
(3 John 1:3)

That’s the only thing worthy of the truth, isn’t it, Jesus?

To walk in it.

Knowing the truth isn’t enough

neither is reading the truth
thinking about the truth

talking the truth
preaching the truth
recommending the truth.

In fact, there’s a sense in which it isn’t the truth

until I walk in it.

Before then, it’s powerless to help me.

Only after I walk in it

does its joy
come alive.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…you continue to walk in it.”
(3 John 1:3)

Walking in the truth is both easy and hard, Jesus.

It’s easy because it’s best.
It’s safest.
It’s right.
It works.

It’s hard because the moment I choose the truth

I pick up a ferocious enemy.

Satan does everything in his power to get me to back off the truth

which makes it hard to continue to walk in it.

But I do…

because Your way
is the only way.
