Prayer Ventures

Prayer for Sept. 4

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.

Friday, Sept. 4 We ask God to stir nations and their leaders to seek peace where there is conflict and war, no matter how complicated or unattainable peace seems. We pray that peace accords, ceasefires and negotiations will foreground those who are displaced, terrorized and treated unjustly.
