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.
Friday, Jan. 3 We pray for the Spirit to stir our patience, understanding and respect for others when we find ourselves in conflict with our neighbors or siblings in Christ.
