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.
Thursday, Aug. 4: We remember in our prayers regions and communities across the United States that have suffered loss and hardship from flooding, wildfires and severe weather. We ask that those who suffer and are trying to recovering experience God’s presence and hope, as well as the caring assistance of emergency responders, relief workers and neighbors.
