A Prayer for Summer

Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth; break into song; sing praise. — Ps. 98:4

With dew drops and showers
and kisses of warm rain, sunshine
and gentle breeze
we welcome God’s gift of summer.

As our bodies warm,
may our spirits soar
with prayers and thanksgiving
for the blessings we receive
from our good and gracious God.

Amen.
