A Prayer for the Fortieth Day of Easter

Resurrection and the life,

There is a delicate balance found in your creation.  Too little rainfall and the young plants wither and dry up in the unforgiving sun.  Too much rain and the sprouts float away. Nature is complex. I don’t help things along.  My patterns of consumption and my self-directed appetite contribute to the world out of balance.  Restore the balance, O God that I need in my heart and life. Renew the face of the earth, starting with me, so that the abundance of creation might be experienced and cared for by all.

Through Christ, Amen.
