PRAY FOR OUR WORLD

Romans 1:19-20  "...since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

God is not just a powerful figure in the world, he is the creator of the world. He brought it into existence with all of its interconnected processes, animate and inanimate. He created the earth and its environment.  We know God created the world, and we are only its stewards or trustees. The very first verse of the Bible says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”.  When we see the world as a gift from God, we will do our best to take care of it and use it wisely, instead of poisoning our waters and destroying the air we breathe.

Father, You said to Love others as ourselves, I think that taking care of the environment falls under that for sure.  Lord, if we pollute the environment we are not loving the people that will come after us.  Lord, You are not just a powerful figure in this world, You are the creator of the world; and brought it into existence with all of its interconnected processes, animate and inanimate.  Lord, You created the earth and its environment, forgive us for not taking care of Your creation as we should.  Father, we dump trash, plastic, and human waste into our water, we burn harmful chemicals that pollute the air, how long Lord, before this earth will be destroyed by those You put in charge to care for it.  So, Father, we come to You praying for the earth and all that You created, in Jesus name, Amen
