As a person of faith,
environmentalist, and avid lover of nature and the great outdoors, I offer this
prayer for Earth Day. It is adapted from page 120 of the Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.) Book of Common Worship.
Creator God,
awaken all people to the
inconvenient truth
about the dangers we have
inflicted upon the planet
you entrusted to our care.
you entrusted to our care.
Implant in each a reverence
for all you have made,
that as responsible stewards
of the Earth
we may leave no trace of our
presence in its wild places,
and restore and preserve its
delicate ecological balance
for up to the seventh
generation. Amen
