Pray this Lazaroo in stunned recognition:

“‘I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them.’ People will oppress each other—man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the nobody against the honored.”
(Isaiah 3:4-5)

If this is how You punish a people’s sinful behavior, Jesus

I would say my city, state, nation –

and this entire world –

are being punished.

LORD, send revival! Fall on this land!

You’ve done it before.

Please, Father:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo in no-excuses assessment:

“…if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless…”
(2 Peter 2:6-7)

That raises an important question, Jesus:

Did You rescue Lot – at least in part –
because he hated the sin of his city?

And if so…

do I hate the depraved conduct of mine?

Take stock, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.”
(Jonah 3:5)

The people of the great city of Ninevah did this, Jesus

in response to Your warning through the prophet Jonah.

Through him, You told them their city would be overturned in 40 days.

Just wondering…

If You sent a prophet with a similar warning to my city

would anyone fast?
would anyone remove their fine clothing

and start wearing sackcloth?

Learn a hard lesson, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“It is decreed that the city be exiled…”
(Nahum 2:7)

I’ve heard of people being exiled, Jesus –

kicked out of their own country.

But I’ve never heard of an entire city

being removed from its national identity.

If that were to happen to a city in my country

which one would it be?

Or perhaps I should ask, “Which ones?”

You’re not messing around, are You?

When an entire city full of people ignore Your repeated warnings

You act.
