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.
Saturday, May 23 “In hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what one already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience” (Romans 8:24-25). We ask the Spirit to strengthen our faith in God’s promises and in what Jesus Christ taught us. We pray for reassurance when we feel pressured to prove our faith and defend our beliefs.
