Creator God,
we give thanks for the wonders of creation

Give inspiration to all doing scientific research – as they search for insight and truth;
Give determination to all who apply science - in helping us live life in all its fullness;
Give wisdom to decision makers - that science might always be used for the betterment of all who share this Common Home.
