A thanksgiving prayer for teenagers

Dear God,
You made a beautiful world,
With sun so warm and light.
With grain and fruit to nourish us,
With streams so clean and bright.

Help us to care and keep it safe,
With wisdom, thought and deed.
With respect for all it offers us
With generosity, not with greed.

We pray for those who suffer,
With lack of rain for crops.
With hunger and such poverty,
With war, grief and loss.

Guide us, as we work and play,
With strength to learn and share.
With grace to enjoy all we have,
With courage to change the world.

Amen.
