Prayer
Father in heaven,
thank you for the wonderful world that you have created for us and have entrusted to us to care
for.
We have made a few mistakes in caring for your world. Please guide us with your Holy Spirit so that we can repair the damage we have caused and begin to be good carers for the planet. Through careful rehabilitation of forests and beaches, deserts and oceans, farming areas and
cities the world will once more become what You want it to be, a place of love. We make our prayer through, Jesus, your Son and our Saviour.
Amen.
