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, Oct. 7: We give thanks in prayer for our brothers and sisters in Christ who live with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We pray that all people experience full participation in the church and the world and that we all know the blessings of living and worshiping in faith communities of diverse abilities and mutual care.
