A Short Prayer for Nature
Lord, you made the heavens, the seas and the living things that fill the earth, and you call each of them good. Open my eyes to see your hand in the sky above me, the soil beneath my feet, and the creatures that share this world. When I forget how closely you watch over all that you have made, remind me that I am held by the same faithful care. Teach me to honor you in the way I treat creation and to trust you in every season. Amen.
