Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer from the ELCA resource Prayer ventures, which can be downloaded here. These daily 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, Sept. 8 Pray for the Spirit to guide and bless synods as they implement decisions and plans made during their assemblies this year. Pray that they will be guided by the shared wisdom, creativity and gifts of lay leaders and rostered ministers, members of congregations, ministry partners and voices from the communities they serve.
