Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer 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.
The prayers for the entire month can be downloaded here.
Monday, Feb. 3 We ask God to help us move beyond our apprehensions, anger and entrenched beliefs so that we might confess and address deeply rooted aspects of racism that poison relationships, workplaces, society and the church. We pray for the Spirit to remind us that we are children of God who live in grace and are called to love, respect and serve one another—complexities, differences and all.
