Lord, we are sorry for destroying your creation.
We have chopped down forests,
we have polluted the air,
we have poisoned the rivers and seas,
we have destroyed the places where animals live.
Help us change our ways so that we can look after the world,
and to make it the way that you want it to be.

Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
