Green Ribbon Prayer Let us pray to the God who loves us and calls us. Give us, O God, the competence to see clearly and the courage to act forthrightly. Bless the men and women whom you have called to a vocation of farming. Keep us ever mindful of their struggles.
	Help us to respect the web of creation and recognize the many dimensions of stewardship. Show us how to appreciate the diversity of our regional landscapes, the distinctive integrity of rural life, and the natural beauty of local cultures. O God, guide us in this budding solidarity. Help us to go beyond narrow self-interest. Lead us, give us light and dispel the darkness. We pray that we will walk with You in humility, engage with others gently, and seek justice for all. Amen.
