Please Lord help us to be good stewards of this beautiful paradise that is our temporary home. Help us to preserve it for our grandchildren. Deliver us from the cancer of greed that drives us to destroy the very lungs of our planet. Deliver us from the pursuit and inappropriate use of power, especially now that we have accumulated so much of it. Awaken us to the magnificent beauty and sustaining gifts of nature. Help us to not get lost in what we have created. Help us to remember that everything we create comes from that which we did not create--that which has been gifted to us, even as life itself, along with our creative powers, has been gifted to us. Help us to not be wasteful, to be generous with our excess, and content with less. Thank You for this beautiful earth!
"The heavens declare Your glory and the earth shows forth Your handiwork." Ps 19:1
