Garden Prayer

What a joy to walk
among your creation,
oh, Lord.
Blooming flowers.
Ants scurrying on the ground.
Birds crying overhead.

Make me as a plant
in this garden.
May I always be a proclamation
of your goodness and providence.
May I bear the fruit of a life
made beautiful by your
unwavering love.
And may I live in peace
with the other flowers
which surround me.

Amen.
