Sing praises to God
for the good in the world.
Before you even open your eyes in the morning
give thanks for the soft morning sun warming your face.
Sing praises throughout the day
for the wondrous gift of creation.
As you lay down to sleep at night
give thanks for the blessings you receive each day,
For God mage this world and everything in it,
and it was good!
I am in awe at the gifts of your creation,
the complexities,
the interconnectedness.
We are all joined together through this one earth
that you created for all living things.
How can a person overlook their influence on your creation?
How can they not see the impact of their decisions rippling out around them?
Help them to see the error of their ways.
Open their eyes as you have opened mine.
You have shown me to walk gently,
to look for the effect I am having on the world,
to root my choices in love.
I am not perfect.
I do not always get it right.
But I am surrounded by your perfect love,
guiding me gently back
towards a path of peace.
