Alive: Let there be life

A Celtic prayer for creation:

There is no plant in the ground but tells of Your beauty, O Christ.

There is no life in the sea but proclaims Your goodness.

There is no bird on the wing, there is no star in the sky, there is nothing beneath the sun but is full of Your blessing.

Lighten my understanding of Your presence all around, O Christ.

Kindle my will to be caring for creation.

You are above me O God; You are beneath;

You are in air; You are in earth;

You are beside me; You are within.

O God of heaven, You have made Your home on earth in the broken body of creation. Kindle within me a love for You in all things.

Amen.

About this Plan

Alive: Lent Devotionals

These Lent devotionals will take you on a journey to discover the abundant life that Jesus offers. The world is full of noise and distraction – bright lights that lead us away from the depth of life, keeping us in the shallows. The kingdom of heaven – the kingdom of life and love and joy – is closer than we think. Let us grasp it with both hands.
