Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer from the ELCA resource Prayer ventures (the prayers for the entire month 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.
Tuesday, Jan. 14 “Who hears the song our sorrows swallow and offers hope to calm our fears? When all our words seem frail and hollow, God heeds the prayers within our tears” (All Creation Sings 1050). We give thanks that God hears and responds to our grief and suffering, even when our words fall short of expressing the depth of our sorrow.
