Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God…being found in appearance as a man…humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!
(Philippians 2:5-6, 8)

Here I am mightily struggling to humble myself, Jesus

when only a few things don’t go my way

while for me, You humbled Yourself
all the way to death.

If called upon, help me humble myself as You did

because You’re the Giver of Eternal Life!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…those who pass by without a care…”
(Micah 2:8)

I’ve seen them, Jesus –

blithely parading past me
not a worry in the world.

Because of the burdens I carry

it’s easy to be envious.

Of course, some of them are faking it.

They may be struggling
but don’t want to show it.

Others aren’t caring enough to have a care.

I’d rather not be in their number.

Help me truly care, LORD!

knowing all the while:

You’ve got this.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Why is light given to those in misery…?”
(Job 3:20)

I get it, Jesus.

Job’s referring to the light of the sun.
He’s in such agony that he thinks he’d be better off dead.

But as he learned after You restored him

he was dead wrong.

Just because I’m miserable, suffering, struggling

doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be here.

You use the pain of my life to teach me and toughen me…

and then You make it pay off!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“They do not jostle each other…”
(Joel 2:8)

Well, let’s just say, Jesus…

these supernatural locusts did a whole lot better
than we all-too-ordinary humans.

We tend to jostle one another quite a bit.

Oh, when there’s no rush
and plenty to go around
we’re polite enough.

But just let something go on sale

or become popular, in short supply

and suddenly there’s a whole lot of pushing and shoving going on!

Please, LORD.
Don’t let that be me.
