A Prayer

During Lent, I am using Writing to God to enhance my prayers.  It has a prayer, Bible passage, prayer prompt, and lots of blank space to write your own prayer for each day.  I really enjoy writing prayers this way, and want to share one with you.

Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Mars,
The sun and the Big Dipper,
The moon and shooting stars,
Thank you, God.

The Himalayas, the Rockies, the Alps,

The Atlantic and the Pacific,
The Sahara and the arctic,
Thank you, God.

Lake Michigan, the Grand River, Brooks Lake,

Mt. Baldy, white pine forests, rolling hills,
White-tailed deer and Canada geese,
Thank you, God.

Marsh marigolds, trilliums, jack-in-the-pulpits,

Petoskey stones and driftwood,
Robins and turtles,
Thank you, God.

Algae, moss, and fungus,

Red cells and white cells,
Protons, neutrons, and electrons,
Thank you, God for your good creation.
