Heavenly and Holy Father, as You are well aware of the current conditions around the world, as it is filled with evil and far too many people who have no thoughts of You, our Sovereign. You love righteousness and have given us an earth filled with Your goodness. Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There truly is nothing too hard for You. You show lovingkindness to the thousands. You have said "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know." This Father is a very humbling and overwhelming thought to come to understand that You would desire to reveal Your wonders to me. Lord, I desire to enjoy nature with its beauty and fascinating manifestations. Living in this world of technologies has robbed me of the simplicity of life, and yes, I have allowed it to do so, forgive me. Help me Lord to resist the impulse to deify nature, or worship created things. I desire Lord to observe the birds, the flow of a river, the pulse of the waves and the array of colorful flowers and trees but not bow to these things. Nature is Your creation, and it is marvelous, drawing me in to want to know You more. All this beauty and splendor of the universe comes from Your creative hand, WOW! I pray Lord for those who worship a supposed mother earth which is just a revival of an old goddess from ancient times, an idol that takes Your glory. May we return to the garden and worship You our creator and in so doing we can love the earth and care for it well. May our efforts to "save" the plant arise from the knowledge we have been called to be good stewards because everything You have created is a gift. Thank You Lord for the wisdom to go forth and serve You, for Your glory. Amen .
Psalm 33, Jeremiah 32:17, Jeremiah 33:3 and Romans 1:25
