Here’s a
responsive opening prayer of thanksgiving from the Arthur Rank Centre.
Opening Prayer
(Inspired by Psalm 65)
God of
life and love
We
rejoice in your abundant gifts
God of
all peoples and all places
We
celebrate your generosity and grace
God of
the earth and the heavens
We praise
you for your provision
You visit
the earth and water it
Softening
it with showers and blessing its growth
You make
springs gush forth in the valleys
From your
lofty abode you water the mountains
God of
life and love
We bless your holy name
