Creating God, the earth is yours, and yet you have entrusted it to our care. You fill this world with beauty beyond measure: fields that nourish, waters that sustain, creatures that inspire, and ecosystems woven together in delicate balance. Forgive us for the ways we have forgotten our connection to creation. Too often we have taken without gratitude, consumed without restraint, and pursued growth without considering the cost to the earth or to one another. Teach us another way. Teach us how to live within the limits of your good creation. Help us cultivate lives marked not by greed, but by reverence; not by exploitation, but by stewardship; not by fear, but by trust in your abundance.
