Prayer for July 13

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.

You can download a pdf with the monthly “Prayer ventures” here.

Monday, July 13 “I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate” (Romans 7:15). We give thanks and praise to God for the boundless love, forgiveness and patience that enfold us just as we are—complex and wonderful children of God who nevertheless are often weak, broken and undisciplined.
