Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart!

“You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine. For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins.”
(Amos 5:11-12)

When I cheat to get something, Jesus

I’m fooling no one but myself.
You’ll see to that!

Help me serve You with integrity

and leave the blessings to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“‘Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards, destroying them with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:9)

When our hearts are stubborn and unrepentant, Jesus

this is what it comes to.

Because Your loving kindness doesn’t compel us

all that’s left is pain.

O God!

May I respond to Your love
Your generosity to me
Your goodness, mercy and forgiveness!

May I never bring upon myself

Your wrath.

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting awareness:

“…our vineyards that are in bloom.”
(Song of Songs 2:15)

There are seasons when my vineyards are in bloom, Jesus.

Well, some of them. Not all of them.

Don’t let me become so depressed over those not blooming
that I fail to rejoice over those that are.

Of course, there are other seasons when none of my vineyards is in bloom.

But Your Word specifies “our” vineyards, not “my.”
May I always rejoice over the blooming vineyards of others!.
