Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!”
(Nahum 3:1)

That’s what got to You the most, wasn’t it, Jesus?

The victims.

Those who lost their lives due to the monstrous cruelty embedded in Nineveh’s culture.

Those who lost loved ones, grieving without relief.
Broken promises, broken homes, broken lives.

It was all about the victims then

it’s all about the victims now.

You’re the same – yesterday, today and forever.

Our suffering
continues to break Your heart!

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting submission:

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man…”
(1 Timothy 2:12)

It’s doubtful that Paul would follow such a practice today, Jesus.

In that culture, female leadership over men
was a stumbling block to the advancement of Your kingdom.

So he asked women with those gifts and skills

to graciously exercise them with other women.

O God! May I be willing to make any sacrifice

for the sake of Your great Name!

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit sensitivity:

“Whose young woman is that?”
(Ruth 2:5)

It would be hard to ask a more politically incorrect question, Jesus.

Thankfully, we don’t talk that way anymore.

But there’s a lesson here, isn’t there?

For the time in which he lived, Boaz wasn’t speaking disrespectfully.
Just the opposite – he greatly respected Ruth!

How many times have I unfairly judged someone’s words or actions

without knowledge of their background, culture or intent?

Forgive me, LORD!
Only You know the heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed resolve:

“He did evil in the eyes of the LORD…”
(2 Kings 3:2)

When it comes to doing good or evil, Jesus

Yours are the only eyes that matter.

My culture applauds behaviors You call sin.
My culture decries actions You command me to carry out.

Without question, my culture exerts a lot of pressure on me to conform.

But last time I checked…

at the end of my life I will stand before You
and not my culture.
