Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day from the ELCA resource Prayer Ventures, which can be downloaded here. These 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, Oct. 2: Give thanks for our sisters and brothers – bishops, pastors, deacons, people of God – who walk the way of the cross with other courageous and faithful people to stand against bigotry, hatred and violence; to stand with those who are intended victims; and to stand for justice and mercy, peace and equality for all people ‒ beloved children of a just, merciful and loving God.
