Today's sole devotional is the observance of the National Day of Prayer. You are invited to join in prayer for our nation and those who live in, serve, and protect it. For the video version, please visit https://youtu.be/ZtjYe8GfP3A. Twice-daily devotionals will return tomorrow. May God bless you now and always!

All Scripture readings are taken from the New International Version (1984 and 2011). All prayers are adapted from the Lutheran Book of Worship (1978) and Evangelical Lutheran Worship (2006). The Prayer for the Media is adapted from a prayer composed by the Rev. Kenneth Howcroft and Mrs. Gill Dascombe, President and Vice President of the Methodist Conference of Australia, found at http://prayerstrategy.org/prayers-for-media-and-entertainment/.
