A Prayer for Copenhagen
Creator God,
You gave us stewardship over creation In The Beginning.
Over the plants.
Over the soil.
Over the animals.
Over the earth.
Our sin is that we have failed your trust.
Over the plants.
Over the soil.
Over the animals.
Over the earth.
Man-made climate change threatens the sacred balance of life.
Temperatures are climbing.
The arctic is melting.
Entire species are perishing.
Even the future of humanity is at risk.
Help us, O God, to reconcile with the earth and with you.
Let wisdom come to our leaders and to all people.
Give us the courage to act during this time of decision.
Sustain us with Hope as we wrestle with the consequences of failure.
May we once again earn the trust you gave humanity so long ago.
For this – for the future of all creation - we pray.
Amen.
