Season of Creation Prayer Day 7

While northeastern Minnesota is home to some of the cleanest water on earth, including the pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and Lake Superior, it is also home to a large low-grade deposit of heavy metals, known as the Duluth Complex. Foreign mining conglomerates have identified the Duluth Complex as an opportunity to profit off of Minnesota’s natural resources.

It is critical that Minnesota’s environmental laws and regulations are updated to reflect the current scientific consensus around threats to our clean water. With your help, we can ensure our most precious resource is protected, and enjoyed, for this and future generations.     

Creator of all, open our ears to your creative, reconciling and sustaining Word that calls to us through the book of Scripture and the book of creation. Bless us once again with your life-giving waters so that the Creator Spirit may let justice and peace flow in our hearts and overflow into all creation.
