Lent 1: Genesis 2:15-3:7
Prayer after reading of the garden’s Keeper Maker:
for gardens and walls;
for Eden and our homes to the east;
for your talk with us and ours with you;
for the good and bad of our shared ways, for life in common, not alone;
for death’s bitterness sweetened by your promise and presence in Jesus;
praise and thanks.
