Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.”
(Acts 3:8-10)

As You perform most of my miracles Jesus –

You remain unseen.

But every once in a while

You display Your power in a way
that even doubters cannot deny!

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“’The Lord bless him!’ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law. ‘He has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.’”
(Ruth 2:20)

No, You haven’t, Jesus –

nor will You ever!

Because the so-called righteous “dead”
are alive in heaven with You!

What a thrill it will be for me one day in heaven

when I am by Your side
looking down in grateful amazement
on the unending stream of blessings
You are showering on those I love.

Pray this Lazaroo with overflowing adoration:

“So he said to the man, ‘I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.’ He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this!’”
(Mark 2:10-12)

This is Your specialty, Jesus:

You keep showing me things I’ve never seen.

There’s no way I can guess how You’ll answer my prayers

or how You’ll bless me next.

You Are Gloriously, Fabulously, All-Powerfully

Unpredictable!

Pray this Lazaroo in head-shaking amazement:

“…a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.”
(1 Timothy 2:7)

We’re talking nothing short of a miracle, Jesus!

…that You called Paul, a passionate, Gentile-despising Jew
to be the apostle to the Gentiles.

When Paul announced to his people that You had sent him to the Gentiles

they immediately tried to kill him.

But today, Gentile believers passionately love and support the Jews

and demand that their leaders defend Israel
against all who want to annihilate them.

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown amazement:

“With praise and thanksgiving…”
(Ezra 3:11)

You kinda like it when those two go together, don’t You, Jesus?

The praise because of Who You Are
The thanksgiving because of what You’ve done

and continue to do…and do…and do.

But to do either I have to pay attention, don’t I?

I’ve got to dismiss the idea of chance, luck, circumstance.
I’ve got to recognize that it is You! All You!

If I can’t do that

I still don’t know You.

Pray this Lazaroo in baffled amazement:

“So the king of Israel set out with the king of Judah…”
(2 Kings 3:9)

Talk about being unequally yoked, Jesus…

the king of Judah was honoring You
the king of Israel was not.

Still, You worked stunning miracles and gave this flawed partnership victory against their enemies on that day.

Why? Because it further advanced Your Plan of the Ages.

You’ll work through the worst of us and the best of us, won’t You?

…along with everybody in-between.
