Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…now I would be lying down in peace…”
(Job 3:13)

Job is talking about his death, Jesus

imagining himself lying buried
free of pain and heartache.

But that wasn’t what Job really believed!

He knew that death was the passing from this world
to his eternity in the next.

He knew he would one day stand before You
and give an account of his one and only life.

Dear God!

May I never – ever! – forget that one overriding truth.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things.”
(2 Peter 1:20)

I get it, Jesus.

It’s above all because everything hinges on this truth:

These are Your words, not those of any human being.

Even well-intentioned people make mistakes.

You don’t.

I can stake my life on everything I read in these 66 books of the Bible

from Genesis to Revelation

because every truth I encounter

is Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…your faithfulness to the truth…”
(3 John 1:3)

It’s hard to be faithful to the truth, Jesus

when the truth is painful
when the truth is hard

when the truth has to be delivered

to someone who doesn’t want to hear it.

At such times, many people fudge the truth

dress up the truth
tell only part of the truth.

Give me the courage to tell the truth

the whole truth
and nothing but the truth

so help me God.

Pray this Lazaroo in over-the-top trust:

“…let us walk in the light of the LORD.”
(Isaiah 2:5)

I’d better walk in Your light, Jesus!

Everywhere else is gloom, warped mirrors, darkness.

Of course, some people reject Your Light.

They’re afraid it will expose their sins, shortcomings, misdeeds.
They’re right.
It will.

But that’s a good thing!

Lovers of truth want to know where they’re missing it
so they can correct course
and turn it around.

May I always love Truth, Father!

and walk in Your Light.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever…”
(2 John 1:2)

That’s the thing about Your Word, Jesus:

It’s truth.
It lasts forever.

Lies have their run, then fizzle.

A falsehood’s greatest effect is the moment it’s uttered.
From then on, the erosion begins…until it’s exposed.

By contrast, truth may be rejected in the beginning

but time is in its favor.

Sooner or later, the bright, authentic power of Your truth wins out.

Every time.
