Prayer of Thanksgiving: God in Creation

Here’s a prayer of thanksgiving for creation from the Church of England’s Common Worship website.

Prayer of Thanksgiving

We thank God for the world he has made,
and for all his love and care.

For the warmth of the sun,
Father in heaven
we give you thanks and praise.

For the rain which makes things grow,
Father in heaven
we give you thanks and praise.

For the woods and the fields,
Father in heaven
we give you thanks and praise.

For the sea and the sky,
Father in heaven
we give you thanks and praise.

For the flowers and the animals,
Father in heaven
we give you thanks and praise.

For families and holidays,
Father in heaven
we give you thanks and praise.

For all your gifts,
Father in heaven
we give you thanks and praise. Amen.
