Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you with grateful hearts, Lord, to thank you for the incredible creation that surrounds us. We are in awe of your wisdom and power, displayed in every mountain, river, and forest.

Thank you for the beauty of the earth, for the changing seasons and the diversity of landscapes. Thank you for the animals and creatures that roam the land and soar through the sky, all perfectly designed by your hand.

We are grateful for the intricate details of creation, from the delicate petals of a flower to the grandeur of the mountains. It all reflects your glory and majesty.

Help us to be good stewards of the earth and to care for the environment as you have entrusted it to us. May we appreciate and protect the wonders of your creation for generations to come.

In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

 

 

Praise God for He is
