Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“What I feared has come upon me…”
(Job 3:25)

Why do You allow this to happen, Jesus?

Is it because You want to show me

that because I have You
I have nothing and no one to fear?

You don’t want me to live in fear, do You?

I don’t want me to live in fear, either!

So since we’re agreed

please deliver me from all fear

except the fear of displeasing You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a corrected attitude:

“…receiving no help…”
(3 John 1:7)

When I ask for help and no one responds

it makes me feel lonely, abandoned, even unloved, Jesus!

But should I have that response?

It’s not like I’ve helped everyone
who would have appreciated my help.

So what’s my problem?

It’s a learning opportunity, isn’t it?

Maybe the time wasn’t right.
Maybe I didn’t ask the right people.
Maybe I’m supposed to do it myself.

After all, I’m never alone.

I have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in tearful confidence:

“People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

That’s the hardest, Jesus.

When I keep my suffering to myself
it’s not a surprise that no one comforts me.

But when my pain increases to the point that I’m forced to cry out
and still no one shows up with love and compassion

my agony is multiplied by the stunning realization
that I’m abandoned
forsaken
alone.

Except I’m not!
Hallelujah!!

I have You.

Wise up! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Many will follow their shameful ways…”
(2 Peter 2:2)

When “everybody’s doing it,” Jesus

it’s tempting to do it with them.
It feels safer.

But not when the crowd is opposed to You!

‘cause that whole crowd is marching right over the cliff.

Is it tough to stand alone?

Sometimes, yes.

But I’m not alone, am I?

I have You –

not to mention untold millions of my brother and sister Christians.

Because Satan’s a liar.
Everybody’s not “doing it.”

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-engendered courage:

“Do not be afraid of them…”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

You don’t want me to be afraid, do You, Jesus?

In part, I know that’s because You love me.
When I suffer, You suffer.

But it’s more than that.

You don’t want me to be afraid
because I have You!

With You on my side –

or rather, with me on yours –

there is absolutely no reason on Your green earth

for me to be caught trembling in my boots.

Not ever.
