Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.”
(Romans 3:19-20)

Well, I’m certainly conscious of mine, Jesus.

My sins stare me in the face.
I live with their consequences.

But Hallelujah!

Through my faith in Your death and resurrection
I’m no longer under the law!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right; who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness.”
(Micah 3:9-10)

It’s the leaders You hold most accountable, isn’t it, Jesus?

You expect them to set the standard for their followers

to love justice and do what’s right
But with honesty, integrity and hard work –

not by crushing the innocent.

Salute Your Commander, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.”
(Leviticus 5:1)

So much for, “It’s none of my business,” Jesus.
So much for, “I don’t want to get involved.”
So much for, “If I speak up, it’ll backfire on me.”
So much for, “Why speak up? It won’t do any good.”

You’re the One who made sure I witnessed it –

…and who holds me accountable to testify.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.”
(Ezekiel 3:18)

You couldn’t make it any clearer, Jesus.

I can’t quietly stand on the sidelines
thinking it doesn’t concern me
and watch it happen.

I’ve got to speak up!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…who has…ignored the covenant she made before God.”
(Proverbs 2:17)

A covenant with You is one I’d better never break, Jesus –

whether it’s one I made when standing before a preacher
one I swore before a judge as I lifted my right hand
or one I made while dug into a foxhole, bartering for my life.

But the thing is…

every promise I make is before You!

You hear every word I speak

and hold me accountable.
