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.
Friday, March 24: Pray for the people of El Salvador and their church leaders who have been bold, courageous public witnesses of the Christian faith, justice and reconciliation in the face of persecution, war, injustice and economic struggle. Ask the Spirit to stir in us compassion that we not forget their plight and ongoing struggles and that we seek ways to encourage hope and work for the renewal and well-being of their communities and society.
