A Prayer For Today - Earth Day

Today is EARTH DAY, APRIL 22, 2013.
Let us spend our 3 Minutes in Prayer with our eyes open!

Now "SING my Soul My SAVIOR GOD to THEE,
HOW GREAT THOU ART.
HOW GREAT THOU ART."

LORD JESUS CHRIST, Son of the Living GOD.
Help us to see again the true wonder and beauty of the world around us.
Recall us to lifestyles of reverence and simplicity.

Cause Our hearts to be infused with GRATITUDE for the remarkable Gift of Creation.

We could never deserve the Sun, the Moon and the Stars, the trees, the oceans, the birds or any crawling or swimming thing created by your WORD.

YOUR Giving us Dominion over all the Universe is more than any generation has been able to comprehend. LORD have Mercy upon us.

PLEASE Forgive us our excess, our pilfering, our spoilage, our toxic habits, our pollutants and our rampant waste of the natural resources that you have so freely given us.

LORD create within us a new pattern of thinking such that we, our families, congregations and nations:

RETHINK our relationship to the earth,
RECYCLE the goods we produce and use,
REDISTRIBUTE the wealth and resources of the earth and
REIMAGINE a future of increased biodiversity, planetary healing and PEACE with DIGNITY on EARTH.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

AMEN.
