Psalm 75

God, you called this world into being,
Breathing life into creation,
Binding all things together with your wondrous Spirit.
God, we praise you for creation.

Then you called to us to care for that creation.
Offering us conscious thought and independent attention.
Teaching us to live and to love.
God, we praise you for the gifts you have given us.

But, God, so often we fall short of that calling.
We do not respect the resources you have created.
We undervalue the life of the plants and animals we live among.
And we fail to care for our fellow humans.
God, forgive us for these trespasses.

God, you save us by your grace.
You sent us your son so we would know your forgiveness,
And to remind us how to live justly.
God, we thank you for your guidance.

You will be with us until the end of days.
Showing us how to be our best selves,
And preparing us for whatever comes next.
God, we praise you for your Holy Mystery.

God, we sing your praises,
for the lessons of the past,
for the gift of the present,
and the mystery of the future.
We sing praises in gratitude of your unceasing love.
