We Pray for God's Creatures. our Land, our Environment, our Gulf Waters

Loving Father and Creator of all we come to you today deeply grateful for your creation. As we look around us we are amazed at the greatness and majesty of all that you have made. Nature around us speaks of your greatness - the vast expanse of the sky, the mountains, trees, lakes and streams speak of your great design. You have given us such beauty in the colors of the rainbow, the beauty of flowers and fields, the waters of the oceans and especially of the Gulf waters at our shore.

During these days of deep concern, help us in our response to the danger that threatens our shores: our sister states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and of our own state of Florida.

Help us to protect our environment, especially mindful of all creatures great and small which inhabit our shoreline and waters, our bayous, bays, rivers and streams. May we use our talents, our intellect, our strength and Your grace – all that You have given us - to respond correctly that we may avert the threatening elements which are near.

We praise You always.
