Prayer of Praise
(based on Psalm 104:
24-34)
O Lord,
what a variety of things you have made!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.
When you supply it, they gather it.
You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied.
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.
When you supply it, they gather it.
You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied.
But
if you withdraw your presence, they are dismayed.
When
You take away their breath,
the
life goes out of them, and they become, again,
the
dust of the earth from which you formed them at the start.
But
when you send out your breath, new life is created,
and
the face of the earth is made beautiful, and is renewed.
God,
may Your glorious presence linger among us forever.
May
You rejoice in all that you have created.
