Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer 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.
Saturday, Oct. 12 We pray that we might discern and avoid the false teaching of Christian nationalism, which divides us and uses Christ’s name to place us above others, claiming privilege and God’s favor. We ask the Spirit to stir in us a desire and commitment to love, uplift and serve our neighbors—without bias.
