Take a moment of stillness, noticing God’s presence with you. Today’s reflection invites you to begin with Scripture, pause later with a hymn verse, and end the day in prayer.
Scripture
Genesis 1 : 7-8a NIV
God made the vault
and separated the water under the vault
from the water above it.
And it was so.
God called the vault “sky”.
Hymn Verse
StF 69
Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
triumph o’er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
Charles Wesley (1707 – 1788)
Evening Prayer
Thanksgiving: Thank you, O God, for the sky and for the waters underneath the sky.
Sorrow: We are deeply sorry for our lack of gratitude, our failures in stewardship, our ongoing damage to your precious creation.
Commitment: I/We commit to more frequent gratitude, to better stewardship, to greener lifestyle choices, to deeper commitment to a fairer world and a more sustainable planet.
