Prayer 279

Our hopes rise with the sun, O God: let us dwell in your sight forever. We thank You for the gift of your creation: let us treat all living things with care and respect. Make us like little children, to see this world with eyes of wonder at the glorious works of your hands. Help us to see ourselves as part of your creation, whose beauty sings a song of your Love to us. Help us walk gently with each other, spreading compassion in every step. Look with favor on those whose needs we raise before You today
