Season of Creation 2025 Prayer

Creator God,
Let there be peace on earth
One world
Living in harmony
Caring for one another
Delighting in the wonders around us
Tending your creation

Let there be peace on earth
And yet….
Ours is a world at war
A world of enmity and hatred
A world of greed and destruction
A world of hunger and homelessness
God, forgive us

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with you and me
Our words and actions
Our priorities and passions
Our love for our neighbours nearby and far away
Our care for land and air and sea
God, help us

Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
A world of justice and joy
A world of fairness and respect
A world of kindness and compassion
A world of plenty for all
God, for this we pray,
in Jesus’ name.
Amen
