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 deep reverence:

“‘It is you who have ruined my vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?’ declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
(Isaiah 3:14-15)

May you never say that of me, Jesus!

I know You love and care for the poor.

That means I had better love and care for them, too –

offering them the wholehearted respect
due everyone created in Your Image.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“My people…have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”
(Jeremiah 2:13)

What an exercise in futility, Jesus!

Digging a cistern is hard, back-breaking work.

To expend all that time and effort to dig one that can’t hold water?

Crushing.

Is there anything I’m working on right now that You know will turn out to be a broken cistern?

I’d really appreciate a heads up.

All I want to do
is what You want me to do.
