Heavenly Father,
Provider of every good gift, we thank You for our solar system and the shelter of our homes—places of rest and refuge, of family and quiet belonging, where love is shared and burdens are lightened. Open our hearts also to the wonder of Your creation:the earth, the skies, the seas, and every living thing.May we never grow blind to the beauty that proclaims Your glory, nor deaf to the quiet voice of Your presence in all that Your hands have made.
We thank You for the resources of the sun, the moon and the earth. We thank you for the warmth and energy of the sun and the atmosphere that shelters and protects us.It provides the air we have to breathe and the gravity that holds all Your earthly gifts in place,
Thank you for the land, the sea and the sky, the animals, the creatures of the sea, the plants and trees that provide us food to eat and air to breathe, You provide mountains, forests, minerals, energy, and all the abundance You have entrusted to our care.
These gifts are not ours to claim as absolute owners,but treasures placed in our hands
as stewards of Your creation.Grant us, O Lord, the wisdom and the willto use these resources rightly—
not in waste or greed,but in justice, generosity, and care for the poor.
Help us to build, to share, and to protect so that our homes and our earth
may serve Your greater purpose and give glory to Your name.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord,who had nowhere to lay His head
yet gives us every good thing,and in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
