A Prayer of Wonder
I glory in your handiwork, O God:
towering mountains and deep valleys,
dense forests and expansive deserts,
fathomless depths of blue below and immeasurable
heights of blue above.
When I peer into the universe of the telescope
and the universe of the microscope I stand in awe at:
the complexity and the simplicity,
the order and the chaos,
and the infinite variety of colors everywhere.
When I watch the little creatures that creep upon the earth
I marvel at:
such purpose,
such direction,
such design;
and yet
such freedom,
such openness,
such creativity.
O Lord God, Creator of the hummingbird and the
Milky Way, I am lost in wonder at your originality.
Amen.
Richard Foster from Prayer from the Heart
