Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.”
(Zephaniah 2:6)

This is how You punished Your disobedient nation, Jesus!

Wow.

You could have scorched the land, making it utterly useless for anything.

But You didn’t.
Instead, in the midst of Your disciplining anger

You turned the land they had defiled
into a blessing.

You’ve done that time and again for me!

Even while You’re correcting me
You’re blessing me in ways I would have never expected.

O God!
You Are Awesome!

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 sold-out surrender:

“This is my gospel, for which I am suffering…”
(2 Timothy 2:8-9)

This is contrary to the prevailing wisdom, Jesus –

which says good people shouldn’t be persecuted.

But since when has the prevailing wisdom prevailed?

The wisdom of this world has failed times beyond counting.

By contrast, Your wisdom is eternal!

I’ve learned to trust You with every fiber of my being –

not only because You’ve proven Yourself time and again –

but because You alone

have the words of eternal life.
