Description

What do you do when the dream you prayed for feels buried and beyond hope? The story of Lazarus shows how God restores dreams not instantly, but intentionally. Delay is not denial. What looks like death may be divine preparation for resurrection.

Jesus reveals that resurrection follows a rhythm: surrender, tears, faith, and community. If you have stopped hoping because believing has become painful, this message is an invitation to dream again and to trust the God who brings dead things back to life.

Key Scriptures: John 11:1–44 | Ezekiel 37:1–10 | Psalm 126:5–6 | John 12:23–24
