Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says: ‘There will be wailing in all the streets and cries of anguish in every public square. The farmers will be summoned to weep and the mourners to wail.’”
(Amos 5:16)

Though You had repeatedly warned them, Jesus

Your people refused to listen.

They took credit for the blessings You had bestowed upon them

mistreating those less fortunate.

O God! May I never have to be taught

what it’s like to have You against me

instead of for me.

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

“Their throat is an open grave…”
(Psalms 5:9)

Pretty graphic, Jesus.

Over the top, though?
An exaggeration?

Sadly, no.
I’ve run into some like that.

As with a grave prepared for mourners

they can look peaceful, even beautiful.

But the closer I get

the more danger I’m in.

They’re a hole in the ground.

If I fall into it, I can break my neck.
People would throw dirt on top of me.

O God!

From such people, spare me!
