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.
Wednesday, July 12: We ask God to make us steadfast in our commitment to justice and peace in the world, guide our leaders in effective diplomacy and move us all to be concerned advocates for people and communities suffering in places devastated by violence, war, persecution, injustice and poverty.
