World Day of Prayer for Creation

Reflection

“For you formed my inward parts;

you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works;

my soul knows it very well.” ~ Psalm 139:13–14

Prayer

Creator God,

All creation shouts for joy because we are fearfully and wonderfully made, but sometimes those shouts are dimmed by the ways of the world.  Political upheaval, wars around the world, sufferings from climate change, and closer to home, the unrest of our families due to illness.  On this World Day of Prayer for Creation, we come united in prayer for all that you have created, praying to draw each creature closer to the loving God who made them.  By your love, we have been made; may we share that love with others in your name.  Amen.

Call to Action

Take five minutes today and consciously pray for all of God’s creation.
