Prayer for Sept. 9

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.

Wednesday, Sept. 9 “Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre” (Psalm 149:3). There are many ways to praise God through song and music; some are passed down through church tradition and others are created in response to culture and context. We give thanks to God for endowing us with diverse gifts and creativity to express our faith, love and awe.
