God of Life and Creation

We begin this day acknowledging
your power and presence among us,
God of all life and creation.
Guide our work today
that we may see the story of humanity in a new way;
that we may understand our world and its possibilities;
that we may choose life — for ourselves and our descendants. Amen.
