Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day from the ELCA resource “Prayer ventures,” which 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.
Thursday, April 24 “We are not fed by only doing one way of ministry. Instead it is about seeing the face of God in every person who walks through the door, about embracing the inherent dignity of every individual, regardless of their circumstances” (Esther K. Sianipar, “Serving With Shobi’s Table: A Reflection.” We pray for our neighbors who suffer hunger, lack reliable access to nutritious food and yearn for the support of caring communities, and we thank God for our congregational, synodical and churchwide ministries that serve them without bias or judgment.
