A prayer for creation

Our loving Father, we see you in your creation today.

The sky is declaring you glory, the clouds are a majestic work of your hands.

Each and every day, you are here, right beside me, and all around me.

You hear my words, understand my thought, and create beauty to bring me joy.

Father, your hands reach out to the ends of the earth, and the heavens show your glory.

There is no speech, or language to be heard, but your words to me are clear.

Your word today is “come”.

Come, and enjoy beauty, light, and love.

May the words from my mouth, and the gratitude from my heart be pleasing in your sight.

O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

 

Amen

(Thoughts born out of Psalm 19)

Thanks Rob for showing and reminding me of Psalm 19’s message and how to use it in prayer. I forget too often that prayer is talking to God with thanksgiving, gratitude as much as expressing our thoughts and requests. There are also times when we can apply what we already have available to make a small difference to that part of creation that we have control of. Such effort, in my opinion proves that we mean what we pray.
