Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“‘Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go!’ So they went out and began killing throughout the city. While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown, crying out, ‘Alas, Sovereign Lord! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?’”
(Ezekiel 9:7-8)

No, Jesus.

You didn’t destroy them all.

But You do know whom to destroy and whom to spare.

I don’t deserve it –

but thank You for sparing me

right down to this very moment.

Pray this Lazaroo in undisguised need:

“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning…”
(Matthew 2:18)

Nobody wants to hear that, Jesus.

Even worse, nobody want to be the one doing it.

This old world dishes out a lot of reasons to cry.

Most of the time I manage not to give into it.
I suck it up, tough it out, keep plugging away.

But sometimes the loss is too great. My emotions spill over.

In those awful, desperate times, please:

Help me!

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly emotion:

“I wrote you…with many tears…”
(2 Corinthians 2:4)

I guess they’re far more spiritual than the Apostle Paul, Jesus –

those who insist if I have enough faith

I’ll always smile no matter what
I’ll never weep in anguish of heart.

Or maybe not…

because Paul knew there were some things worth weeping over:

lost opportunities
lost blessings
lost people.

Tears for the right reason have nothing to do with how much faith I have

but with how much love.
