Psalm 96:11-12
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
A Prayer
God of joy, God of rain, God of flying and crawling and swimming things.
Thank you for the gifts of nature and the joy we find in sunsets and sunrises,
singing birds, and fleeting glimpses of our fellow creatures walking in
woods and roadsides.
Thank you for the beauty of butterflies, which rise as you did, from absence
and stillness to something completely new and beautiful.
Help us to care for your creation, of which we are a part.
Amen.
Martin Luther
