Pray this Lazaroo in loving gratitude:

“But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:6)

These kinds of relationships are rare, Jesus.

If I have anything like this, help me cherish it
and never take it for granted.

If I don’t have anything like it

please bring this blessing into my life!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.”
(Philippians 2:20-21)

Timothy was someone truly special, Jesus.

Someone rare.

Will You please help me to follow in his footsteps?

Help me show genuine concern for the welfare of others!

Rather than my own interests
help me look out for Yours.

I don’t have to worry about doing without!

Your loving generosity has no limit.

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-empowered determination:

“…Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:6)

O Jesus.

When You show me that somebody I love

loves me, too

and that their love for me is only surpassed

by their deep, abiding faith that causes them
to live in obedience to You

it doesn’t get much better than that!

May that be the report that comes to them

about me!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.”
(Philippians 2:19)

That’s the way to hope, Jesus:

not in my own desires

in You.

When my hopes are dashed it’s not because You’ve failed me.

It’s because my hope was in my wishes, my plans, my agenda

not in You.

So now, from this day forward:

I put all my hope in You.

Pray this Lazaroo in brokenness and trust:

“We sent Timothy…to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

Destined for them?

You know I don’t like to hear this, Jesus!

When I’m wholeheartedly following You

I wish You would reward me
by sparing me from the heartaches of life!.

So why don’t You?

Because the testing of my faith produces perseverance

which enables me to fully mature in You.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“We sent Timothy…to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

It’s hard to watch one of our leaders go through a dark, difficult time, Jesus.

It’s even harder when I’m going through an agonizing time myself!

At such times, Satan may suggest to me that following You isn’t worth it.

But he’s a liar.

The only trials You permit Your people to endure

are those that will accomplish in us Your highest purpose.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2)

I know it’s my responsibility to stay focused on You, Jesus

to grow in You and to please You
in everything I think, say and do.

But when You send someone along with the gift of encouragement –

someone themselves strong in You who models it for me –

that’s nothing less than fire in my heart
and wind beneath my wings!

Pray this Lazaroo in respectful awe:

“So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul longed to return to the believers in Thessalonica, Jesus

but Satan blocked him.

We don’t know how or why.

But You either let it happen or caused it to happen
because Satan can thwart no plan of Yours!

Was sending Timothy in his place second best?

No.

You’re Sovereign.

That was Your plan all along.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother…”
(Philemon 1:1)

He was the great Apostle Paul, Jesus

but not one molecule of his body wanted to make it all about him.

He willingly shared his leadership with the young man Timothy

to encourage him and validate his ministry with others.

How can I do less?

Show me the younger people You’ve placed in my life

for that very purpose –

and may I be as generous with them

as You have been with me.
