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, Aug. 24 There is no convenient or more suitable time to respond to the suffering of our neighbors. We pray that we will be mindful of those around us—near and far—and promptly respond with respect, kindness, generosity, sustainable solutions and concern for their short- and long-term needs.
