All things have been created through Christ and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:16-17
Creator God, sometimes we forget that all things are made by you, and that we need to care for it as a precious gift. Show us how to honor and care for your world; empower us to act for the good of all. May we follow your lead and love your creation as much as you do. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
