Prayer for July 27

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 27 We pray for Stephen Ministries, which minister one-on-one with people experiencing grief, illness and other crises. We give thanks for Stephen Ministries lay volunteers in communities of faith, caring and supportive companions who walk alongside those in need, embodying Christ’s call to love and serve our neighbors.
