Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
(Luke 2:11-12)

Was there ever a day this great, Jesus?

Well, there was the day You died for the sins of the world

including mine.

And then, three days later…

the day when You rose from the dead
defeating death, hell and the grave
for all who believe!

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life. And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day.”
(1 Samuel 2:33-34)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

For such a very long time You refrain from punishing.

But when we despise Your patience as weakness…

oh, dear God!

Pay extremely close attention, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it…This will be a sign to the people of Israel. Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself.”
(Ezekiel 4:3-4)

How many times, Jesus

have You called on Your prophets, preachers and pastors
to be a sign to Your sinning people

to repent, change their hearts and their evil ways
before it’s too late?

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Joshua…said to them, ‘Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you.’”
(Joshua 4:4-6)

You had just worked an amazing miracle, Jesus.

They set those stones in the middle of the Jordan
to make certain they would always remember what You did.

What stones do I need to set – and where?

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“The Jews then responded to him, ‘What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’”
(John 2:18-19)

You Are God, Jesus.

You proved it by Your teaching and miracles.

But when You were publicly executed and buried –

then rose from the dead exactly as You promised?
More than 500 witnesses?

That seals the deal.
Case closed.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

“Afterward the Israelites will return…”
(Hosea 3:5)

That’s what it usually takes for me to return to You, Jesus…

a sign, a tragedy, an event, a message
something that rocks my world.

Only then do I do what I should have done without any push from You:

Turn around, head in the right direction
all the way back home.

Of course, if we’re talking what I should have done…

I never should have strayed from You to begin with.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“This is a sign to them…”
(Philippians 1:28)

I’m pretty adamant about other people seeing the signs, Jesus

but how am I doing with that?

Just because I see an obvious sign others are missing

doesn’t mean I’m not missing a sign You’re giving me.

I do want to help others see the way

but it’s a little hard to keep them from stumbling
when I’m flat on my face.

Please keep me alert, perceptive, astute, engaged

and humble.

 Pray this Lazaroo in deep trust: 

“And this will be the sign to you…”
(Exodus 3:12)

It’s just human nature to want a sign, Jesus –

especially when it’s something counterintuitive.

Sometimes You give Your people a sign.

But not typically.

Most of the time, You want me to take You at Your Word

plus nothing.

If I demand a sign from You before I obey, that’s me saying:

“Prove it!”

which is detestable

because You’ve already proven Yourself to me
over and over and over again.
