Pray this Lazaroo with fiery determination:

“Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding. Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle. The gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.”
(Isaiah 3:24-26)

So this is what a curse looks like, Jesus

Your punishment –

doled out not upon the heathen
but upon Your people, who’ve forsaken You.

Keep me true, Jesus!

May Your curse never fall on me.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Here’s a good seat for you…”
(James 2:3)

There’s nothing wrong with offering somebody a good seat, Jesus

unless I’m doing so to favor the rich over the poor.

What is there in my makeup that causes me to automatically respect someone wearing fine clothes

and look down on someone dressed shabbily?

If I knew them as only You do

it’s possible that the poor person is the one who deserves my respect
and the rich one my contempt.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes…”
(James 2:3)

It’s hard not to, Jesus!

People who dress well catch the eye.
Often they’re educated, hardworking, interesting.

But You despise favoritism!

You made everyone I see.

When I fawn on one and ignore the other

I insult You.

Fact is, some of those able to dress to the nines

are shallow, self-centered, boorish.

I’d do well to treat everyone the same:

with love, consideration and respect.
