O God, Creator and Lord of all, how magnificent You are! I marvel as I look around me and see the wonderful world that You have created for us, Your children. From the depths of the mighty oceans, to the heights of the snow-capped mountains, from the North to the South, from East to West, You have designed a world that reflects Your power, majesty and glory. I am in awe, and give thanks and praise in my own feeble, humble way. As a caretaker of the earth, may I be ever cognizant that I am responsible to care for the work of Your hands. May I use these gifts of creation wisely and prudently. Amen.
“When I see Your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place – what are humans that You are mindful of them, mere mortals that You care for them? Yet You have made them little less than a god, crowned them with glory and honor. You have given them rule over the works of Your hands, put all things at their feet. O Lord, our Lord, how awesome is Your name through all the earth!”(Psalm 8: 3-9, New American Standard Bible)
