Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“‘Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards, destroying them with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:9)

When our hearts are stubborn and unrepentant, Jesus

this is what it comes to.

Because Your loving kindness doesn’t compel us

all that’s left is pain.

O God!

May I respond to Your love
Your generosity to me
Your goodness, mercy and forgiveness!

May I never bring upon myself

Your wrath.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“I struck all the work of your hands with blight…”
(Haggai 2:17)

Unreal, Jesus.

Farmers break up the hard soil
plant their seeds in the field
row after row after row.

They bring water when there’s not enough rain
hoe out the weeds that sprout
until their plants grow tall

and then the entire crop withers and dies from a disease

sent by You.

When I think my work matters more than my God

I may want to reconsider.
