Prayers for January 2024

Dear Lord,

We pray for Earths healing and protection. Heal our planet from pollution and destruction. May humanity close its eyes to greed and material riches and open its eyes to natural wonders.  Guide all of us as we learn to embrace eco friendly and sustainable lifestyles. Be with all scientists, researchers, climate activists and environmental advocates as they fight for a greener world free from global warming and destruction.

May you save our planet and all the life and beauty it holds..

Amen

Prayers for November

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)

Prayers for October

Forgive, O 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)
