Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…remember that at that time you were…without hope and without God in the world.”
(Ephesians 2:12)

It’s vital to remember that, Jesus!

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my problems
that I’m tempted to envy the lifestyles of unbelievers.

That’s when I most need to recall what it was like when I was in the same boat they’re in.

It was downright ugly!

I never want to return to the empty, hopeless existence

that is life without You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…remember that at that time you were separate from Christ…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

I don’t like to remember that time, Jesus.

It’s too painful.

But clearly, You want me to remember it!

Why?

Is it so I’ll be grateful for my connection with You now?

I am. I truly am.

Especially remembering what it was like to not have

Your indwelling Presence
the intimacy of our ongoing conversation throughout the day

the sweet assurance of my salvation in heaven.
