September Prayers

Consider joining us in praying with Creation in this season

Prayer 1
Source of all wisdom and truth, you gave your people your law so that we might live in harmony with each other and with the Earth. Help us to see that nothing you create is unclean in your eyes. Guide us into all truth and righteousness, so that our children and our children's children may dwell sustainably on your holy ground.

Prayer 2
God of all creation, all earth glories in your presence. Even wilderness is made glad and the desert rejoices and blossoms. You bring hope to creatures for which we have little or no regard. So fill your people with your spirit, that we might bring healing to all that lives.

Prayer 3
God of infinite mercy, your loving sacrifice is the source of all life. All the broken ones of our wounded world are held together in the hands of your crucified and risen Son. We resist following in his way, and the destruction of your beloved creation is the consequence. Forgive our resistance and empower our work to heal and mend the damage we are doing.

Prayer 4
Wise and gracious creator, your greatness is your eternally abundant love. You create the tree and its fruit. We seek a different greatness, and destroy the fruit with the tree. Our way of life is not sustainable apart from your mercy. By your spirit, help us behold the power of your love in all that surrounds us, both in the immensity and in the minutia of the universe.
