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.
Monday, Aug. 29: As congregations prepare programs for fall, we ask God to bless their planning and leadership. We pray their efforts and creativity will encourage people of all ages in their faith and touch the hearts of those who yet seek or hunger for the good news found in Jesus Christ.
