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.
Monday, July 18: We pray for the end of oppression, enslavement, inhumane treatment and practices that victimize people for economic gain, power or personal advantage and that we will instead behold and treat each other as beloved and valued brothers and sisters in Christ.
