Prayer for July 7

Prayer for July 7

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.

Tuesday, July 7 “By the loaves you break and give us, send us in your name to share bread for which the millions hunger, words that tell your love and care” (ACS 966). We praise God for giving us the sacrament of Holy Communion, which gathers us around the sacred meal where we are reminded of and experience God’s gifts of grace, love, forgiveness, mercy and renewal through Christ’s presence in the bread and wine.
