Prayer for America 01/02/06

Wondrous Creator,you carved out the Grand Canyon in its immensity and etched the details of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Your power created Niagara Falls yet also brought into being the tiniest fish in the Chesapeake Bay. From your imagination came Yosemite, the Great Lakes, Maine's rugged coast, the Everglades, Crater Lakes. Your fingers fashioned in sequoias and redwoods, lilies and jasmine, cardinals and great blue herons. As we appreciate the incredible natural beauty of this great nation, help us to see your handiwork in it and to find inspiration so we can create beauty in our own lives and world. In your creative power, we pray. Amen.
