Pray this Lazaroo in deep repentance:

“Let all their wickedness come before you…”
(Lamentations 1:22)

I’ve been angry enough at someone to pray that prayer of Jeremiah’s Jesus…

but I’m not going to do it.

No way.

You’ve made it clear:

What goes around, comes around.

I don’t want all my wickedness to come before You!

There’s way too much of it.
Still.

My prayer is the one You prayed on the cross:

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…not to be slanderers…”
(Titus 2:3)

That’s a hard thing not to be, Jesus.

When I get down on someone
I tend to run them down to others.

Why do I do that?

I certainly don’t want anyone doing that to me!

But what goes around comes around, doesn’t it?

You’re watching…listening.

Besides, why am I getting down on anyone?

Sure, they’re struggling, falling short
just like I am.

Help me remember, LORD!

to honor and value others
above myself.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobriety of mind:

“So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people…”
(Malachi 2:9)

To be despised – if it’s only by one or two people –

is painful, Jesus.

To be humiliated with somebody watching

is awful.

But to be despised and humiliated before everybody?

Family, friends, total strangers?
Pretty close to unbearable.

What would cause You to do something like that to a person?

Maybe because they’ve tried to make everyone they know
despise and humiliate You.
