Prayer

Your earth is beautiful, Lord. No matter what, the earth moves from season to season. The earth is set in a course that flows from expression to expression – all Holy – all Holy.

May we find our flow – our course that moves us from holy moment to holy time – from beauty to season to you. Like the earth, may we move through our life seasons no matter what storm, cold, drought, or flood might slow us. Grant, creative One, that the certainty and surety from this trust gives us the calm we need to see you all around us. Let there be peace on earth and in our hearts.

Gentle us with your love. Calm our frantic worry that drives us too fast to touch holiness. Empty us of regret, remorse, resentments, fears, needs, and hurt. Empty us and fill us with your love – show us how to live with you, our neighbor, our enemy. 

Your earth is beautiful. No matter what, the earth moves from holiness to holiness. 

Thank you for the beauty of the earth.

Amen
