4th Sunday of Epiphany, Collect (Children's Reboot)


(In 2013 Epiphany was the first Sunday, Baptism of Christ was the 2nd Sunday. The 2nd Sunday of Epiphany prayers don't get used, but we move straight to the 3rd Sunday prayers for 20 - 26 January and then the 4th Sunday prayers for 27 January till Friday 1st February).

God you made the earth.
God you love
all that you have made.
Help us love our world like you do.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 2.8 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a reboot.

The 4th Sunday of Epiphany Collection of 5 prayers is here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project began Advent 2012.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
