Pray this Lazaroo with consistent faith:

“Then the Lord was jealous for his land and took pity on his people. The Lord replied to them: ‘I am sending you grain, new wine and olive oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.’”
(Joel 2:18-19)

That’s Your heart, Jesus!

When we repent, You bless us!

But when we return to our wicked ways – as Your people did –

You reluctantly withdraw Your blessings

knowing only then will we return to You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?”
(1 Samuel 2:27, 29)

We think we’re getting away with it, Jesus

…but we’re not.

You see every underhanded thing we do.

Help me keep my hands on top of the table!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate entreaty:

“Let the priests, who minister before the Lord, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, ‘Spare your people, Lord. Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, “Where is their God?”’”
(Joel 2:17)

You’re telling us how to pray, Jesus!

that is…if we want You to hear us:

with sincere, heartfelt, passionate weeping
with deep concern for the honor of Your Great Name.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Will not all of them taunt him with…scorn…”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

Scorn is incredibly hard to take, Jesus.

It stings, hurts, belittles.

Filled with malicious anger

it cuts deep to the quick.

Scorn is exactly what awaits the evil person.

At first, it doesn’t look like it.
But that’s what happens in the end.

May I never allow myself to be duped by Satan into that destiny, Father!

but may I take comfort in knowing
nice people don’t finish last.
