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 in quiet trust:

“The couriers went out, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was bewildered.”
(Esther 3:15)

The deadly plot Haman hatched against Your people

quickly spread throughout the kingdom, Jesus

leaving fear in its wake.

No matter!

What you had planned for Haman and all like him

was about to backfire

and bring about their total destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…you see something dreadful and are afraid. Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth, deliver me from the hand of the enemy, rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’? Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.’”
(Job 6:21-24)

Job had no clue that You were proving his greatness to Satan, Jesus.

Help me trust You, LORD!

even when to me
what’s happening makes no sense.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…she must be quiet.”
(1 Timothy 2:12)

Now come the questions, Jesus:

Should a woman always be quiet?

What about when she can speak up and save someone’s life?
What about when she needs to tell somebody about You?
What about when her baby needs to hear a lullaby?
What about when someone needs encouragement?
What about when sin rears its ugly head?

In these and countless other times You command her
to use the mouth, lips, tongue and vocal cords

You’ve given her!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel…”
(Galatians 2:14)

That’s when I’m forced to speak up, isn’t it, Jesus?

In a company, nation, church, community, project, group of friends

the first steps may seem right

but if over time there’s a blatant departure –

or a subtle one –

I can’t remain mute.

I have to speak up:

wisely, humbly, respectfully…
but firmly.

If I’m ignored, I have to keep trying

or get out.

Pray this Lazaroo with a desire to learn:

“…that we may live…quiet lives…”
(1 Timothy 2:2)

This one’s…unexpected, Jesus.

I enjoy quiet as much as the next person
perhaps less than some, more than others.

I certainly appreciate the virtues of quiet

easier to rest, relax, think
at least for some people. 😉

But maybe You’re not referring to the absence of noise.
Maybe this has nothing to do with volume.

Perhaps You’re talking about the inner quietness
that comes from knowing You have everything

under control.
