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.
Monday, Oct. 1: Give thanks for our elders who share wisdom and inspiration, pass their faith on to others and contribute so much to our communities; pray we continue to engage daily the wisdom and gifts of our elders, are attentive to the needs of people as they age and work to ensure no elder is neglected or forgotten.
