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.
Wednesday, June 18 Amid conflict and war, we pray for national leaders, diplomats and other representatives whose negotiations might bring ceasefires and lasting peace. We ask the Spirit to guide their deliberations and stir their humility, respect, compassion and mercy.
