A prayer for planting trees

Grant us wisdom, God,

grant us vision.

Grant us courage, God,

grant us faith.

Grant us hope, God,

grant us love.

Grant us persistence,

grant us grace.

Grant us all these things

that we may plant shade trees

knowing we will never sit under them ourselves

but that they will provide care to future generations.

We pray in Jesus’ name.

Amen.

inspired by Lamont Colins, founder of the Roots 101 African American Museum in Louisville

A prayer for the Korean Peninsula

Gracious God,

stand with the people of

the Republic of Korea and

the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

as they experience the monsoon season.

Comfort those who mourn the death

of loved ones.

Strengthen those who have had to evacuate

and are not living in other places than their homes.

Guide the work of those who seek to protect crops.

May the efforts to protect people prove fruitful.

May citizens heed warnings and take steps to increase safety.

Protect the people and the wildlife during this time.

We pray in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
