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. 5: National Disability Employment Awareness Month reminds us that while our society and work places are making progress, they are not yet free of discrimination and obstacles for those who live with physical, sensory, intellectual, mental and developmental disabilities. Trusting in God’s mercy and wisdom, pray we are advocates and agents for change that all God’s people – with a wide spectrum of abilities and gifts – have equal opportunities for appropriate, equitable and supportive employment.
