Hold back nothing, as you pray this Lazaroo out loud:

“They replied, ‘Let us start rebuilding.’ So they began this good work.”
(Nehemiah 2:18)

So few people are even willing to say the words, Jesus:

“Let’s start rebuilding!”

After all, to “rebuild”…

means something has been torn down.

When somebody comes along and destroys all my hard work –

it sucks the life out of me
makes me feel like giving up.

Somehow, these people leaned hard on You for the rare strength it takes to drive a stake in the ground and put themselves out there:

“We’re going to do this!”

But as rare as big talk is, there’s something far rarer:

They actually did it.

That takes raw courage.

I almost never control all the factors required for success.
I have absolutely no guarantee I’ll be able to finish.

But one thing I do know:

I’m certain to fail…

if I don’t grit my teeth and start.
