Eco Church Prayers
Loving God, Creator of Earth and Heaven,
You are holy.
We are called to build your Kingdom of Peace
Through Justice for the whole Creation.
Nourish us daily through the fruits of the earth
And forgive us our destructiveness of nature,
As we accept its effects upon us.
Help us not to be short sighted
But to live sustainable
Lives without greed.
The World in its glory belongs to You,
Who loves and lets live,
For all time.
Amen Martyn Goss What a world
Forgive, Oh Lord
The greed that damages tomorrow’s world to comfort today’s;
The laziness that litters tomorrow’s world to ease today’s;
The lack of care that pollutes tomorrow’s world to convenience today’s;
The injustice that deprives tomorrow’s world to enrich today’s;
The stupidity that forgets tomorrow’s world and lives for today’s;
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy. Peter Graystone What a world
Dear Lord,
We pray for world leaders, grant them your wisdom to make just decisions which respect the earth and all that lives in it, especially those who are poor and vulnerable.
Amen
We come to you Lord to pray for the wellbeing of our planet. You know the full extent of the destruction we have wrought to your beautiful handiwork and what needs to be done to remedy it. We pray for people round the globe who suffer because of environmental damage, for defenceless creatures harmed or made extinct by our selfishness or ignorance.
Give us passion and wisdom to work effectively to restore your creation.
Bless this Earth and all its life in every way.
Amen
Eternal God,
You crown the year with goodness. You give us the fruits of the earth in their season. Grant that we may use them for your glory, for the relief of those in need and for our own wellbeing.
Amen
