Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day from the ELCA resource Prayer Ventures, which can be downloaded here. These petitions are offered as a guide for your own prayer life as together we pray for the needs of the world and give thanks for the ministries of our church.
Wednesday, March 1: Ash Wednesday On this special day, we approach God in prayer with humility and repentance, marking ourselves with the messy ashes of our frail, human life, yet doing so with the sign of the cross—the mark of Jesus Christ, our source of forgiveness, salvation, hope and new life.
