Loving God,

In this season of fires for us and floods for others, nature frightens us.

We give thanks for those courageous firefighters who are working long hours and enduring much sacrifice for the safety of others.

We give thanks for all the dedicated state employees who labor throughout the year to care for the beauty of this state, our most precious asset.

Help us to govern in ways that respect the reality of nature’s laws. Help us to be good stewards of all that nature affords. Help us to leave our environment improved by our care and conduct.

Give us the patience and humility needed to forge common mind when we differ on the methods needed to achieve these ends, that all may enjoy the bounty of your creation.

AMEN.
