Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:9-11)

You’ve given me eternal life, Jesus!

But I’m bound to such limited understanding
during my time on this earth.

Teach me, I beg You:

to walk in humble gratitude
by faith.

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 new awareness:

“This is the work of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting: the care of the most holy things. When the camp is to move, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain and put it over the ark of the covenant law.”
(Numbers 4:4-5)

What are the holy things I am to care for, Jesus?

Is it possible that I don’t recognize what is truly holy?

Teach me, LORD!

May I view what is around me

through Your eyes.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who makes it count:

“I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

An emotion that strong seldom happens early in life, Jesus.

It takes years of putting all a person’s energy
into first this thing, then that

to discover how much of it doesn’t amount to

a pile of rotting leaves.

O God! May that not be my fate!

Teach me to remember:

Only one life will soon be past.
Only what’s done for You will last.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given confidence:

“…filled with gladness…”
(Job 3:22)

There are lots of reasons to be filled with gladness, Jesus

but Job’s was pretty bleak.

He was so deeply depressed over the loss of his loved ones, his possessions and his health that he wanted to die.

He assumed when he did, he would be filled with gladness.

He had no clue this was happening

because You bragged about him to Satan!

Teach me to trust You

when life doesn’t make sense.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“Having been warned in a dream…”
(Matthew 2:22)

Thank You for doing that for Joseph, Father.

I’d love You to do that for me!

Maybe You already have, many times.

But did I understand them?
If so, did I heed the warning?

If not, that might tend to reduce the number of warnings You give me in the future.

Oh, Jesus! Teach me how to recognize the difference

between an ordinary dream
and one imparting a message from You.

Pray this Lazaroo in stubborn faith:

“Teach the older men to be…sound…in endurance.”
(Titus 2:2)

By the time these men reach their advanced years, Jesus

You expect them to exhibit this amazing trait of endurance.

Of course, in many cases, that has to be taught

because none of likes what it means:

hardship, disappointment
waiting, waiting, waiting.

The only way to teach it or learn it

is to believe or discover
that when You promise it

in Your perfect way and time
You come through.

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 from the depths of your heart:

“Does a trap spring up from the ground if it has not caught anything?”
(Amos 3:5)

I think I can answer that one, Jesus:

No. Not usually.

If my own sin has trapped me, show me exactly where I’ve misstepped

so I can repent, stop doing it and escape!

But if You’re the one who’s put me in a position where I can’t move

in order to get my attention and teach me something?

You’ve succeeded.
I’m all ears.
