Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:3-4)

And so we’re blessed with another uplifting word from Solomon, Jesus.

For somebody so wise
he sure was in a snit of depression.

But he was almost right about one thing:

People in heaven are definitely happier
than those of us still on earth!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble, grateful trust:

“I am not writing you a new command…”
(2 John 1:5)

That’s a good thing, Jesus –

because I’m not yet following the old ones.

Well…

I am most of them
but not all.

Sometimes that depresses me.

I know that by now, I should be farther along.

After all, the standard isn’t anything less than full and complete obedience.

But to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you love me anyway
means more than words can say.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…it did not shut the doors of the womb on me to hide trouble from my eyes.”
(Job 3:10)

A person has to be in deep suffering, Jesus

to hate the day of their birth that much..

Job wished he’d never been born

wanted his birthday removed from the calendar.

Perhaps more people than I can begin to imagine

are able to identify with Job’s anguish.

which is precisely why You reveal the depth of his pain

in holy Scripture.
