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.
Wednesday, March 4 “Grace knocks us flat, preventing any form of self-congratulation. All the good we achieve is to be attributed to God rather than to ourselves” (Kathryn Tanner, Christ the Key). We ask the Spirit to help us embrace the free, undeserved gift of grace—love, forgiveness and new life—that is made real to us through baptism and the life, teaching, suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
