Everyday, 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, June 24: During this time of polarization and conflict in our nation, we remember in our prayers the people whose daily realities and needs we often try to forget, including those who are homeless, immigrants, people in prison or living with a record of imprisonment, those without adequate health care, communities in economic crisis and people living in poverty.
