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.
Sunday, Sept. 21 We remember in prayer those recovering from devastating floods and grieving the loss of loved ones and neighbors. We give thanks for the work we do through Lutheran Disaster Response to respond to urgent needs, give emotional and spiritual care, support long-term recovery and restore the vitality of communities. We ask God to strengthen and bless our partnerships with synods, congregations, local relief agencies and ecumenical relief programs.
