15th July Care of our World – Psalm 24 vv 1 & 2
The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
We haven’t cared for our world by polluting the air, cutting down forests, not caring for the environment and disposing of our rubbish responsibly. Wars and natural disasters have destroyed the land and the habitat of God’s creatures, which are important to the welfare of us all. We need to acknowledge the mistakes we’ve made with our planet and learn to appreciate the wonders of God’s beautiful creation the mountains, the hills, the seas, the sky and the land.
Heavenly Father forgive us for not caring for the beauty of your world, raise awareness of the changes we all need to make to improve the sharing of all the good things you have given us. We thank you for being guardians of your world and help us to be responsible and caring for our surroundings. We ask this in the name of Jesus Amen.
