Lord, convert our hearts.
Where we have treated water as a commodity, teach us to receive it as a sacred gift.
Where we have consumed without thought, teach us simplicity.
Where we have used water without reverence, teach us to protect it as a gift entrusted to every generation and to honour it as a source of life for all.
Where we have remained silent or tolerant of injustice, grant us the courage to become protectors of rivers, defenders of seas and companions to those affected by water insecurity, until justice and mercy flow like a living river.
Amen
