God’s Good Earth

Loving Father, you looked at everything that You had made and saw that it was good. But we have squandered the riches of creation. We have laid the ax to the mighty forests. We have despoiled the green hillsides and wasted the earth’s mineral wealth. We have fouled the air, littered the countryside, filled our lakes with plastic, polluted our streams and oceans. Voices have been raised to stop us from squandering our inheritance. May we heed them. May we work together to heal the earth. With much less traffic at the moment, people are breathing fresh air once again. Animals are roaming in our streets with no hindrance. Pollution is at its lowest in many decades. Let us hope that one day, may we look on our planet and say with pride, once again “Behold, it is good.”
