Prayer for Creation

Creator God, the earth groans under the weight of our carelessness. Forests destroyed. Oceans polluted. Species extinct. Climate changing. Forgive us for treating creation as ours to exploit rather than Yours to steward. Awaken us to our responsibility. Humble us to change our habits.
