Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:9-11)

You’ve given me eternal life, Jesus!

But I’m bound to such limited understanding
during my time on this earth.

Teach me, I beg You:

to walk in humble gratitude
by faith.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep gratitude:

“…my fellow workers.”
(Philemon 1:24)

What would I do without them, Jesus?

Sometimes they’re official –
employees working for the same company.

Sometimes they’re volunteers –
serving alongside me in Your church.

Sometimes they’re family members
helping me tackle a project
too big for me to handle alone.

They might even be a stranger
who helps me change a tire
when they see me on the side of the road.

But of this I’m certain:

every one of them has been sent by You.

Ask God to help you follow their example as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…you will do even more…”
(Philemon 1:21)

Some people are just like that, Jesus.

They’re doers, workers, achievers –

but not merely for a season.

They keep going and going and going

doing even more.

While I focus on what they’ve accomplished

they’ve moved on to the next thing

and the next and the next.

They know their work is never done until You say so.

But they don’t resent it!

Because they know they’re laying up

untold heavenly treasure.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…supervising those working on the house of God.”
(Ezra 3:9)

Is there any greater work, Jesus?

No.

Not for the supervisor
not for those working on Your house.

The thing is, every one of Your followers

has that sacred opportunity.

Doesn’t matter how humble, how seemingly insignificant.

If it’s done to serve You
it’s great.

The one who pulls a weed for You is doing a higher work

than the CEO who leads a Fortune 500 company

for herself.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep gratitude:

“Next to them, repairs were made by men from Gibeon and Mizpah…”
(Nehemiah 3:7)

It feels good, Jesus…

to look over and see someone working as hard as I am
doing their share.

It’s encouraging even when I could have eventually finished it all myself

but it’s the difference between success and failure
when the task is bigger than either of us alone.

Thank You Father!

for every person You’ve sent – and will send –
to joyfully serve You together.
