Prayer “We know that the whole of creation has been groaning … right up to the present time.” Romans 8:22 Dear Lord, thank you for the world you have created for us. Help us to value all that you give us, and to use the world’s resources carefully. We pray for countries affected by climate change; for those who have lost homes in floods, or lost harvests due to drought. Help us to be leaders in care for our environment and for your world. In Jesus’ name, amen.
