Reflection

“The Bible opens in a garden and closes in a garden for a reason.  Jesus chooses nature as a place to teach, to speak to God, to eat, to pray, to bless, to heal, to perform miracles and to refresh himself for the demands of his mortal life. Nature reveals to us so much about God.”
-Farrell Mason

Prayer

God of creation,

You reveal yourself through creation. Help us to see your presence in the world around us, recognizing that all of creation speaks of your goodness and care. In the work we do each day, remind us to seek moments of stillness and restoration, so we may serve others with renewed strength and compassion. May we honor the sacred connection between nature, healing, and your abiding presence in all things, trusting that you are always drawing us closer to you. We pray, Amen.

Call to Action

Step outside today and pause for a moment, be renewed, and let God’s presence restore my spirit for compassionate service.
