Pray this Lazaroo in sobered assessment:

“…he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger. Without pity the Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob; in his wrath he has torn down the strongholds of Daughter Judah. He has brought her kingdom and its princes down to the ground in dishonor.”
(Lamentations 2:1-2)

There’s a line I don’t want to cross, isn’t there, Jesus?

You treat us so well, so lovingly
with such mercy and forgiveness

that we forget…

out there somewhere…

that line is there.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“He sold them to their enemies all around…”
(Judges 2:14)

Don’t ever sell me to my enemies, Jesus!

I know You won’t
because I’m not about to forsake You.

That’s a last-ditch action on Your part, isn’t it?

You only resort to it

when people take advantage of Your kindness
and ignore Your every warning.

Not me.

I hear You – loudly and clearly.

You’re good, loving, merciful, longsuffering.

But there’s a line I’d better never, ever cross.

I won’t.

Tremble in fear as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They provoked the LORD to anger…”
(Judges 2:12)

You’re slow to anger, Jesus.

It takes a lot to get You steamed.

If that wasn’t so, I’d be dead

along with the entire human race.

We’re all sinners.
Every last one of us.

But though You’re slow to anger

You eventually get there.

There’s a line I’d better not cross.

I don’t see it.
I have no idea how far ahead of me it lies.

Best response?
Turn around.

Now.
