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.

Pray this Lazaroo with higher intent:

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by injustice! Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?”
(Habakkuk 2:12-13)

When the purpose is evil, Jesus

it never stands.

Doesn’t matter how hard they work.
Doesn’t matter how smart they are.
Doesn’t matter how much money they spend.

Purify all my purposes, LORD!

If I’m going to exhaust myself
I want it to count for eternity!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land dries up, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept away.”
(Hosea 4:2-3)

Most people have no idea, Jesus –

that our blatant, willful, persistent sin
can negatively impact the environment
ultimately destroying wildlife.

Please, LORD:

Keep me pure!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep concern:

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed…”
(Habakkuk 2:12)

Most of us haven’t built any cities with bloodshed, Jesus.

But what’s the principle here?

You’re telling us how much You hate it

when we tear others down
to build ourselves up

when we’re so focused on our own success
that we give no thought to its impact on others.

Am I doing that anywhere in my life, Jesus?

If so, show me!

So I can stop it.
