Pray this Lazaroo in abject humility:

“…deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my sins.”
(Lamentations 1:22)

There are two ways to pray that prayer, Jesus.

Jeremiah was asking You to punish his enemies for their sins
as brutally as You had punished him for his.

But there’s another way to pray it for those of us who aren’t as worthy as Jeremiah:

Deal with my enemies’ sins as lovingly and forgivingly
as You have dealt with mine.

So be it.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep repentance:

“Let all their wickedness come before you…”
(Lamentations 1:22)

I’ve been angry enough at someone to pray that prayer of Jeremiah’s Jesus…

but I’m not going to do it.

No way.

You’ve made it clear:

What goes around, comes around.

I don’t want all my wickedness to come before You!

There’s way too much of it.
Still.

My prayer is the one You prayed on the cross:

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I will surely raise my hand against them…”
(Zechariah 2:9)

Don’t want to ever hear that, Jesus!

Not as it pertains to me.

I need Your hand to

save me
comfort me
sustain me
strengthen me
guide me
protect me
show me
cover me
lift me
help me.

But dear God!

May Your hand never be raised against me.

Against my enemies, though?

Tempting.
But You’ve told me to pray for them.

Nah. Don’t.
Go ahead and bless them.
