Daily Prayer

Creator God, it is amazing to gaze upon Your handiwork. The sunset was incredible tonight, and then the moon, full, arose, The clouds parted and glimmered, and the sky displayed Your glory. I stopped and stared.

We marvel at Your glory, God. Some do not give You credit, and yet they cannot help but stop and gaze and wonder. May I speak loudly of You and Your handiwork. You are the Author of our creation and our salvation.

Amen
