Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)…”
(2 Peter 2:7-8)

Am I tormented by the sin all around me, Jesus?

Or have I become numb to it, indifferent
shrugging it off as though it’s not that big of a deal?

Please. Help me always see sin

as You do.

Pray this Lazaroo with opened eyes:

“If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.”
(James 2:11)

Pretty obvious, Jesus –

when I see it in somebody else.

But You’re pointing this out through Your half-brother James

because I have a hard time seeing it in myself.

I tend to look at other people’s sins as foolish, tragic, inexcusable

while seeing my own sins as no big deal.

How blind can I be?

I think I’ve already answered that question.

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the little foxes that ruin the vineyards…”
(Song of Songs 2:15)

Sometimes it’s the big sins that cause us to crash and burn, Jesus.

But when Satan fails to take us down that way
he sends in his little foxes.

They’re the sins we tell ourselves are “no big deal.”

They’re the ones “even good Christians commit.”

Which, of course, is the point.

That’s who Satan ferociously targets:

those determined to follow You.

He’s already got the other ones.
