Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong…”
(Jonah 4:1)

What was this horrible thing Jonah thought You did, Jesus?

He didn’t just accuse You of doing wrong
he accused You of doing very wrong.

The “awful” thing You did

was being merciful.

The people of Ninevah deserved to be destroyed.

But when they repented
because Jonah preached their doom
You relented.

May I never be upset when You treat others better than they deserve!

Your mercy
is the only reason
I’m drawing another breath.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.”
(1 Peter 2:12)

Pagans are going to accuse me of doing wrong, Jesus.

When I stand against sin and for righteousness
it will violate their heathen standards.

But because You’re the Creator of us all

some values remain constant for everyone.

Help me knock it out of the park with those!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed devotion:

“…Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, ‘Stand up in front of everyone.’”
(Mark 3:1-3)

You didn’t hide the miracle You were about to perform, Jesus!

You stood against them boldly
in behalf of the hurting.

O God!

Rise up within me
as I do the same.

Heed the warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, ‘Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?’…he answered…’This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman!’”
(2 Samuel 3:7-8)

Yeah, Jesus.

I want to be certain that I have all the facts
before I accuse someone of wrongdoing.

If all I have is hearsay and circumstantial evidence
I’d better keep my mouth shut.
