A Prayer of Gratitude for Creation

Lord,

We thank You for Your many good gifts -

for the beauty of Creation, 

for clean water and fresh air, 

for food and shelter,  

for animals and plants.

Forgive us for the times 

we have taken the earth's resources for granted 

and wasted what You have given us.

We pray that  we treat the earth 

with respect, 

care and love,

now and in the future.

Help us to respect the rights of all people 

and all species 

and help us to willingly share your gifts

today and always. 

Amen.
