Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
(Exodus 5:8-9)

But they weren’t lazy, Jesus!

They were obeying You!

May I always remember:

Even when I’m doing exactly what You desire
this can happen to me.

When others judge me harshly

should I quit obeying You?

No!
Never.

Pray this Lazaroo with joy and gratitude!

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
(Hebrews 4:15-16)

You know firsthand what I’m going through, Jesus!

You’re not judging me harshly.

With compassion and total understanding
You’re helping me make it through.

Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“…not to put it too severely.”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

That’s a decent goal, Jesus.

Even when someone has a rebuke coming
there’s no point in overdoing it.

When they’re already down, busted and bleeding
why pile on?

Whether they admit it or not, they usually know they’ve blown it.

It doesn’t help when I make them feel worse
than they already do.

Besides, You’ve warned me:

What goes around, comes around.

Severe criticism is a seed

I’d rather not reap.

Be willing to accept Godly correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“These men are not drunk, as you suppose.”
(Acts 2:15)

It’s so easy to judge people, Jesus.

I know better.
But I still do it.

Why?

I don’t believe in it.
I hate it – and for a very good reason:

Others have harshly judged me.

Of all people, I know how much it hurts.

I don’t know what they’ve gone through.
I don’t know how badly they’re hurting right now.

Please!
Help me rid my mind of this evil.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’”
(Hosea 2:23)

I know how it feels to be judged, Jesus.

I don’t like it –
and not just when they judge me harshly

Sometimes people think more highly of me than they ought to.

Makes me feel uncomfortable.
When I try to correct them, they think I’m being modest

which makes them think even more highly of me.

Sigh.

Some days I just can’t win! 😉
