Luke 16:19-31 New King James Version
19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ”
Jesus, please help us recognize our poverty of spirit. Help us see and respond to the Lazaruses that are at our gates. There is a judgment coming for those who are blind to the poor and needy. Open the eyes of our hearts.

Luke 15:11-22 New King James Version
11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. 14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’ 20 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
Father, thank you for rushing to meet all your erring children when they return to you. Grant that more of your children would come to their senses and return to you.

Psalm 130 New King James Version
1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
Father, when I am down I can cry out to you for help.
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
Father, hear me, hear my cries to you.
3 If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
Jesus, I am a sinner; have mercy on me.
4 But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.
Jesus, thank you for forgiving me.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
Lord, I wait on you; I wait for the cleansing touch of your Holy Spirit.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
Jesus, I have waited so long for you to heal me.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.

8 And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
Lord, please redeem Israel and all your people.

Holy Spirit, help us enter into the joy of Jesus.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Jesus, please help us love those we don't like.
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Thank you, Jesus, for laying your life down for us and making us your friends.
14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
Help us, Jesus, to do what you command.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
Jesus, thank you for speaking to us through your Spirit and the Scriptures what you have heard from your Father.

Note from Torre: Reading Scripture is for me a conversation with God. Verses speak to me and I respond. That's what you see in these prayer notes: a conversation.
Luke 13:10-17 New King James Version
10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” 13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Lord, I am surrounded by people with long-term infirmities. I pray that you will loose them.
14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.”
Jesus, so many churches are hung up on doing things "decently and in order" that there is no room for your Spirit to move.
15 The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”
Holy Spirit, let our Sabbaths be marked by healing and deliverance from infirmities.
17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
Father, please help us also rejoice at your mighty deeds you are working through your Son, Jesus.
A Word Received: Give me your infirmities.

Luke 3:1-6 New King James Version
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Holy Father, let your word come to us as well.
3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,
Father, send forth preachers of your word among us.
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.
Jesus, please restore straight paths in your church.
5 Every valley shall be filled
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough ways smooth;
Lord, please make the crooked places in this country straight.
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”
Holy Spirit, help us see with the eyes of faith.
A Word Received: Pray that my church will return to my straight and narrow path.
