Creator

Heavenly Father,

I offer you praises this morning. You are the creator. The sound of voice made light. Your will brought forth land from the formless seas. You flung the galaxies throughout the universe by your power. You imagined life, and the waters swarmed with creatures. The laws that govern all we call science were composed in your divine mind. Even now, you sustain the fullness of your creation. I thank you that your perfect love could not be contained in your infinitude but overflowed throughout the world you created. Yet today, when we survey the majesty of the works of your hand, the stain of sin is evident. Father, bring forth restoration to your fallen world. In the person of your son, evil has been defeated. So we ask that you hasten the day when all things are made new. Empower us to be agents of reconciliation. We long for the day when all creation is again in perfect submission to your divine will.

In the name of your righteous son. Amen.
