Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day from the ELCA resource Prayer Ventures, which can be downloaded here. These 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.
Thursday, April 23 Pray for synod leaders who have rescheduled or canceled assemblies and for synods that are prayerfully discerning how to best proceed in the upcoming weeks and months with concern for the health and well-being of leaders, voting members and others. Pray the Spirit will strengthen, guide and encourage them in proclaiming the gospel, growing the church, serving our neighbor and doing God’s work in an ever-changing world.
