PRAYER

Creator God, as February leads us to the gate of spring we thank You for changing seasons and pray for our precious planet. Help us each to care for the little regions that we inhabit. May our lifestyle habits neither harm nor damage earth, sea or sky and all that lives therein. May Your Spirit unite us as peaceful protestors and passionate practitioners against climate change.

Wise God, as February brings us International Thinking Day, we thank You for the World Association of Girl Guides and Scouts, and for the diversity of its movement across world zones and cultures. We pray for the welfare and empowerment of young people globally. Help us each to welcome, to include and to treat as equals all who are made in Your image. May Your Spirit gather us into one in union with Christ Jesus.

Loving God, in all times, Equator of our souls, we thank You for the Sun that gives light to us by day. and for the Son whose light shines even in darkness. Thank You for Your assurance that whatever climes we may be in You are there – before, behind, above and beside us – because nothing in life or death can distance us from Your love. So write Your law, we pray, on every human heart, transform us from within, that we be the seismic change of Your Kingdom come for person and for planet.
