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

“…join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God…”
(2 Timothy 1:8)

This is a tough day, Jesus

worldwide.

For many of us, nothing will ever again be the same after what happened on September 11, 2001.

If we didn’t know it before, we know it now:

It doesn’t matter if we’re tucked away

in the tallest building
in the biggest city

of the most powerful country in the world.

It doesn’t matter

if we’re flying the most reliable airline
or working in the most secure military complex

of all the nations in the world.

Nowhere

is “safe” anymore.

But that’s good to know.

Because there never was anywhere “safe”

except in the absolute center of Your will.

So if I’m going to suffer anyway

why wouldn’t I make the deliberate choice – in Your power –

to suffer for something that matters

for all eternity?
