Our Father God, we thank you for your creating power.

That you have made all things and made them well,

That you have given us all things richly to enjoy;

For the beauty and the bounty of this fair earth;

And for the creating power which can make all things new:

We thank you O Father.

Forgive us if in pride and selfishness and in anger

we have misused your gifts, and have used for death

that which was meant for life.

Our Saviour Jesus, we thank you for your redeeming power.

That you loved us and gave yourself for us;

That you gave your life a ransom for many, a ransom for us;

That you were obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross:

We thank you O Christ.

Forgive us if we have treated your love lightly as a little thing,

and if we have never even begun to love you as you first loved us.

Our gracious Holy Spirit, we thank you for your keeping power.

For the guidance you have given us;

For the knowledge you have brought us;

For your continual upholding, strengthening, protecting power:

We thank you O Spirit of God.

Forgive us if we have tried to live life alone,

and have despoiled ourselves of the divine help

we might have had from you.

We pray for the blessing of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

to be upon us now and stay with each one of us always. Amen.
