Prayer for Aug. 12

Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day from the ELCA resource “Prayer ventures.” 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, Aug. 12 International Youth Day (U.N.)  We pray for young people and the challenges they face. We give thanks for their gifts, insights and partnership in doing God’s work in the world together. Let us recognize and lift up the youth in our congregations as valued siblings in Christ.
