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.
Thursday, April 9 “Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime” (attributed to Martin Luther). Signs of God’s love and forgiveness are everywhere! We pray for the Spirit to heighten our awareness of God’s presence, activity and promises manifested in creation, in our neighbors and siblings in Christ, and through Scripture, the sacraments and worship.
