O LORD,

how manifold are Your works!

In wisdom

You have made them all;

the earth is full

          of Your creatures.

                Psalm 104. 24

(God reveals Himself

    through His creation,

many-sided,

comprehensive,

an interconnected collection

            of the sacred.

We are surrounded

       and cannot but notice

all the precise workings

         of the universe

that we take for granted,

His designs and appointments

    that stir up awe,

the undeniable awareness

               of the Creator.

Nothing random at all.)

O LORD,

You created the world

          out of Your love.

You created each one of us

      for Your glory.

We stand on holy ground.

We cannot help

       but give praise to You

for the wonders You created,

all that never ceases to

                   amaze us.

Please guide us into this day

     that You have made

and walk with us

            all the way.
