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.
Friday, Sept. 16: We give thanks for God’s abundant love and patience with us and for creating in us faith and abilities that enable us—even with our personal flaws, weaknesses and appalling histories—to serve as leaders, workers and witnesses sharing the good news.
