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.
Monday, Aug. 14 We give thanks for nurses, who care for the needs of body, mind and spirit. We lift up the names of nurses in your congregation, in other Lutheran congregations and in other faith communities. We pray for the Lutheran Faith Community Nurse Association and its work to equip faith-community nurses and to foster health and wellness ministries in congregations.
