Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“…children and infants faint in the streets of the city. They say to their mothers, ‘Where is bread and wine?’ as they faint like the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives ebb away In their mothers’ arms.”
(Lamentations 2:11-12)

Oh, how painful to hear these words, Jesus!

The suffering of the children
because of the sins of their parents.

It’s not fair!

But it’s the price of sin.

We think our sins affect us alone

but we’re dead wrong.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Why is light given to those in misery…?”
(Job 3:20)

I get it, Jesus.

Job’s referring to the light of the sun.
He’s in such agony that he thinks he’d be better off dead.

But as he learned after You restored him

he was dead wrong.

Just because I’m miserable, suffering, struggling

doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be here.

You use the pain of my life to teach me and toughen me…

and then You make it pay off!

Pray this Lazaroo with sobered clarity:

“…his religion is worthless.”
(James 1:26)

What a blow that would be, Jesus!

To spend a lifetime thinking my religion is doing me good
that You’re pleased enough with me to take me to heaven

then find out that I’ve wasted my time and energy
that all my religious behavior and cherished beliefs

were dead wrong.

Which is why I’m not depending on my ideas, traditions and customs.

My only hope – and I know it to the bone –

is You.
