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.
Thursday, April 20: For wherever there is war and conflict in the world, pray for peace and healing; where people live under oppression and persecution, pray for justice and protection; for people, nations and situations forgotten or ignored, pray we remember and are moved to thoughtful, caring involvement.
