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.
Monday, Jan. 20 Martin Luther King Jr. Day We remember and give thanks for the life, teaching and advocacy of Martin Luther King Jr. for the sake of justice, inclusion and the value of all people, especially those who suffer persecution, racism, disdain or oppression. We pray that we will be inspired by our neighbors and siblings in Christ who are fearless and persistent in their advocacy and compassion for others.
