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
