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.
Wednesday, Aug. 3: In the face of threats of terror and uncertainty in the world, we pray that we embrace God as our refuge and strength and resist the human urge to respond with violence, debilitating fear or hatred.
