Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart!

“You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine. For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins.”
(Amos 5:11-12)

When I cheat to get something, Jesus

I’m fooling no one but myself.
You’ll see to that!

Help me serve You with integrity

and leave the blessings to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence.”
(Jonah 3:8)

Why do we find it so hard, Jesus

to give up the things that break Your heart?

You’re not trying to cheat us out of having a good time!

You’re protecting us from the thoughts, words and behaviors
that will destroy our lives.

Forgive me, LORD

for being so slow to give up
what will take me down.

Be forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.”
(Habakkuk 2:11)

This is Your warning to those who lie, cheat and steal, Jesus.

Just when they think they’ve succeeded and can kick back and enjoy what they’ve built

they find out they’re wrong.

Though they spared no expense

their luxuries backfire
and come back to bite them.

Those who cheat to get ahead

You deposit at the end of the line.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…the God of…Jacob…”
(Exodus 3:16)

When You identify Yourself as a specific person’s God

You’re telling me something important, Jesus.

Jacob was a liar, a cheat, a conniver and a thief.

He loved one of his wives and not the other.
He had an excuse for that…but not before You.

And oh, yeah…

he was the grandson of Abraham
and father of 12 sons who became the 12 tribes of Israel.

Which – among other things – means:

You’ll use anybody.

Get to the heart of the matter, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…don’t show favoritism.”
(James 2:1)

It’s interesting, Jesus…

You tell me not to show favoritism.
You don’t tell me not to feel it.

Of course, I imagine You’d like me to conquer that, too.

But first things first.

Not showing it is easier than not feeling it

though it’s hard enough!

Or do I have that backwards?

Might it be that my only hope at not showing favoritism

is not to harbor it in my heart to begin with?

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The LORD said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife…”
(Hosea 3:1)

Most husbands might have trouble showing love to a wife who is cheating on them, Jesus.

But the whole point is:

That’s what You want us to do for one another
because that’s what You do for us.

Sin is cheating on You with Satan.

But in spite of the fact that we’re spiritual adulterers
we still long for You to show us Your love.

Pray this Lazaroo with supernatural caution:

“…her house leads down to death…”
(Proverbs 2:18)

You’re warning me to watch out for the cheating spouse, aren’t You?

Thank You, Jesus!

Such a man or woman doesn’t usually enter my world with a sign around their neck that declares:

“Beware! I bring you death!”

But they should.

Any unrepentant wife willing to be unfaithful to her husband
any unrepentant husband willing to be unfaithful to his wife

only needs the next opportunity

to be unfaithful to me.
