Garden Prayer
A Blessing For the Planting of a New Garden
by Christine Sine
God bless this soil rich and fertile with life
God bless the seed we plant this day
As it falls into the ground to grow
We remember Christ’s body broken for us
Unless a seed is planted in the soil and dies
It remains alone
But its death will produce many new seeds
A plentiful harvest of new lives
In the name of God the creator,
We sprinkle it with the water of life
Remembering that though we may plant and water
It is God who gives growth to all our efforts
Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, But only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
In the name of Christ our redeemer,
We bury it deep in the ground
Waiting for the first sprout of new creation
The promise of resurrection held in each tiny kernel
Open up O heavens and pour our your righteousness
Let the earth open wide. So salvation and righteousness can sprout up together. I the Lord created them.
Look I am making all things new…
On each side of the river grew a tree of life
Bearing twelve crops of fruit with a fresh crop each month
The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations
AMEN
