"You heavens above rain down my righteousness, let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I the Lord have created it." - Isaiah 45:8

Prayer for the earth
God bless the earth and all that lives within it
God bless the earth and all that lives on it
God bless the earth and all that lives above it
God bless the soil on which we live and work and make community.
In your mercy may it bring forth goodness to nourish and renew the whole community who share it
