Our Father in Heaven,

You are our Creator and Redeemer. We come to you with thanksgiving for our salvation and for the glories of your creation displayed all around us. We come confessing our sinfulness, and pray your forgiveness through the work of Christ.

We thank you our Father today for that wonderful covenant made with Noah. Through it you have blessed your creation and it has been of much comfort to us for it is a reminder of our Father in Heaven who cares for his people.

And so Father, accept our thanks and help us to live and care, as stewards, for your creation. Come Lord Jesus.

We pray in Jesus Name, Amen.
