Prayer Ventures

December 15

Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day from the ELCA resource Prayer Ventures, which can be downloaded here. These 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.

Thursday, Dec. 15: Being engulfed by commercialism and pop culture traditions attached to the Christmas season, we ask God to remind us of and keep us centered in the simple, true essence of Christmas—the birth of Jesus Christ and God’s gift of love for all people.
