Pray this Lazaroo with unvarnished transparency:

“My groans are many…”
(Lamentations 1:22)

I can usually do a lot of groaning

before I realize it, Jesus.

Other people might complain about my complaints

while they only seem justified to me.

But when I’m the one who notices I’m doing a lot of groaning

that’s an indication that things have become

pretty intense.

Do You get tired of hearing me groan, Father?

Or are You waiting for me to turn them
into believing, trusting, heartfelt prayers?

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them.”
(Judges 2:18)

What would we do without Your compassion, Jesus?

There’s so much evil in the world!

If I didn’t know You see and care and understand

I don’t know what I would do.
But it wouldn’t be good.

That may explain why some people do the things they do.

They don’t know You’re watching, caring, loving
and will intervene in Your perfect way and time.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…my groans pour out like water.”
(Job 3:24)

Few people can identify with the depth of Job’s suffering, Jesus.

But You can.

Job had lost almost everything – his wealth, his children and his health.

The only thing that remained were his so-called friends
who told him he was getting what he deserved

a wife who told him to curse You and die

and his life.

But you gave even that – Your life! – out of love for me.

Thank You!
