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.
Saturday, April 22: Earth Day The earth is a gift and treasure—the handiwork of our Creator—sustaining all life. Ask God for the will and wisdom to care for the earth and all its resources and give us courage to make difficult decisions that may involve sacrifice, changing attitudes and behaviors, and thinking beyond our immediate desires and needs for the sake of the world.
