Prayer

Creator God High King of heaven Designer of the cosmos Sustainer of all that breathes all that moves and has its being.

We worship you

Your power is seen in the movement of the planets the stars of the midnight sky the turning of the seasons the ebb and flow of the tides.

We praise you.

For we are wonderfully made created for worship warmed by your love freed by your forgiveness

We are your children

We see your generous grace in the greening of the grass hear it in the hissing of summer lawns teeming with tiny lives

All precious, all loved

Would that our care was enough. Would that we were not wasters of all that is yours all that is beautiful all that feeds us and makes us whole.

Stretch out your hands O God and hold us.

Open our eyes to all that is contrary, all that hurts and destroys.

That we might have and offer life in all its glory and gladness through the gifting of your Spirit and for the sake of your Son.

Amen.
