Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts. Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times, for the times are evil.”
(Amos 5:12-13)

When the courts are corrupt, Jesus

to whom can we turn?

Only You.

When the courts are righteous

to whom can we turn?

Only You.

In good times and bad

in hard times and pleasant
in sickness and in health
in happiness and sorrow

to whom can we turn?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Should it be said…”
(Micah 2:7)

Well…some things should be said, Jesus…

others not.

Much of the trouble I’ve endured over my lifetime

stems from getting those two mixed up.

Sometimes the need was there, along with the opening You provided

and I failed to speak up.

At other times…let’s just say it:

I should have kept my mouth shut.

Give me discernment in the moment, Holy Spirit!

with the courage to speak
or the self-control to shut up.

Pray this Lazaroo with transparency:

“I said in my heart…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

If I say it in my heart

that’s where it counts, Jesus –
the place where only You can see.

Some of the things I say with my lips

don’t really reflect what’s in my heart.

I don’t mean to be a hypocrite.

I don’t want to be a person
who pretends to be someone I’m not.

But not everything that’s in my heart

is safe to say out loud
or wise.

Pray this Lazaroo with unquestioning obedience:

“See that you don’t tell this to anyone.”
(Mark 1:44)

I love to share Your good news, Jesus!

So it seems a little strange to learn
there are some things You don’t want me to tell.

But in this case, You told the man You’d been healed to keep it to himself

because the religious leaders would use it against You.

Please help me speak up when I should

and keep my mouth shut when You say so.
