Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day 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, July 5 “Insofar as a Christian is free, no works are necessary. Insofar as a Christian is a servant, all kinds of works are done” (Martin Luther, The Freedom of a Christian). We praise God for freeing us from sin through the redeeming love of Jesus Christ. We ask the Spirit to inspire our service, our acts of kindness and mercy, and our praise for God, the true source of absolute freedom.
