Wonder and Awe

God of wonders,

You show us your beauty in all created things.

Help us to pay attention:

to the taste of the ocean on our lips,

the warmth of the sun on our hands,

the song of birds in the morning and evening,

the fragrance of the earth after rain,

and to the star that guides us.

Creator God,

We stand in awe of all that you have made.

Fill our hearts with gratitude

for every good gift, great and small,

that feeds and forms us,

inviting and enabling us

to become people who are fully alive

in your amazing grace.

Amen
