Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.”
(Exodus 4:29-31)

I bow down and worship You too, Jesus!

When I’m in misery, You see it.
You’re concerned about me.

And You have the loving power to do something about it.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.’”
(John 3:1-2)

What courage this man exhibited, Jesus –

willing to stand against all his peers
because he could see what You were doing.

May I be courageous, LORD

even when I don’t see.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.”
(John 2:23-25)

I wouldn’t blame You for not entrusting Yourself to me, Jesus.

You know exactly what’s in me.

But You did!

You gave Yourself for me on the cross!

to purify me until inside and out
I think, speak and behave

like one of Your own.

Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.”
(Acts 2:43-45)

Were these the greatest days of Your Church, Jesus?

Was this the purest expression of what You had in mind
when You laid down Your life for us?

You’re the Same – yesterday, today and forever.

Great God:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed wonder:

“Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses…”
(Hebrews 3:3)

Reading those words today seems a no-brainer, Jesus.

But when they were written
most of the Jews would have considered them blasphemous.

Moses was the one through whom You worked miraculous signs and wonders to bring Your people out of Egypt

who led them 40 years in the wilderness
through whom You worked even more huge miracles.

The Jews didn’t know what we do:

It was You.

Pray this Lazaroo with bated breath:

“…miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you…”
(Acts 2:22)

…and You’re still doing them today, Jesus!

You’ve worked miracles!
Have I had eyes to see them?

You’ve performed wonders!
Have I been paying attention?

You’ve shown me signs!
Have I had a discerning heart to read them?

You’re the same, Jesus –

yesterday, today and forever.

Give me eyes that see…

a mind that pays attention…

a discerning heart 

because I don’t want to miss a single thing!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs…”
(Acts 2:22)

You never attended an accredited college, Jesus.

You never hung an accredited diploma on Your office wall –

and not only because You never had an office. đŸ˜‰

Your accreditation wasn’t a human institution of higher (actually lower) learning

nor a piece of calligraphy-decorated paper.

You Are accredited to us by the things You said and did

that only God could do.

 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.
