Prayer for COP 26
PRAYER FOR COP 26
A short chat with God about climate change.
Heavenly Father, we’re anxious about Climate Breakdown.
It’s already causing wildfires, crop failures, killer heatwaves and floods.
We’re angry: it’s so unfair, hitting the poorest hardest,
Adding to human conflict and compounding nature’s struggles.
From youngsters to grandparents, we need some hope:
To see governments stopping the bad stuff and driving the good,
A fair transition to a low carbon economy, a nature-friendly way,
Acting boldly on the science; no more denial or delay!
And this year, Heavenly Father, the climate summit will be in the UK too
It’s exciting and daunting: what should your people do?
We will praise you for your creation; commit our churches to act;
Work together across neighbourhoods and nations;
And call all leaders to be bold, just, honest with the facts;
So, help us, Heavenly Father, to worship, act and speak up.
Yes, we will worship, act and speak up.
We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
