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.
Saturday, Feb. 18 Martin Luther, renewer of the church (1483-1546) Give thanks for the life, faith, prayerful deliberation, and wisdom of Martin Luther, who continues to influence and challenge the church and our theology. Pray that we might remember Luther’s human complexity and imperfections—and our own—as we strive to understand Scripture and live as children of God in an ever-changing world.
