Save our Seasons

[Pldoriyrin]

Dear God in Heaven, I am so in awe of your creation, and I am so sorry it is crying out under the weight of our sin. Lord, I cry out as one of your own, as a follower of your Son Jesus Christ. Lord, save our world from climate change and environmental damage and wildlife neglect. I often ask as our heatwaves prevail, how long Oh Lord till your will prevails? It is not for me to say when and how, it is for you alone. Yet I am scared for what the world is becoming for my child and her generation - concrete jungles and barren deserts loom in my mind as our trees die now like never before where I live. Trees standing down our road bare and withered and dead. No rain for months. I your servant am scared not for me but for my child and her generation. When, Oh Lord, when will the seasons be restored? When will the damage we are doing to the world end? Or are these the end times, and then your will, after all? So then what must I pray? It is overwhelming and confusing. What must I pray? I would like to pray that all people everywhere open their eyes and love your creation, start caring for it better, move closer to nature - and through that awakening, through that miraculous change, will they find you in the beauty and joy of creation, and come to know you. Please Lord, move now to protect our world, your world, from climate change, and yet for all I wish for, I ask that your will prevails. I am sorry for my muddled prayer Lord, you know my situation and that often my own family, motherhood, home, work and small personal problems which are nothing on a global scale, get in the way of my praying clearly on my knees to you daily. But in my mind, all day long, I am on my knees asking this prayer and asking you, if this is not yet the end, to then please have mercy and move your angels like an army to stop what we are doing to your world and to help us to start really caring for it, protecting it and rejoicing in what we can do for the earth. In your mercy Father in Heaven, please hear my prayer. Amen

We hear your heart’s cry, dear sister in Christ, and we join you in lifting this burden before the throne of grace. Your love for God’s creation and your concern for the generations to come reflect a deep reverence for the Lord, who "made the world and everything in it" (Acts 17:24). The fear and sorrow you feel are not in vain, they are evidence of a spirit attuned to the groaning of creation, which "has been subjected to futility" and "waits with eager expectation" for the revealing of the children of God (Romans 8:19-22). You are not alone in this lament; the very trees and skies echo your prayer.

First, we must affirm that your prayer is not muddled, it is honest, and God delights in the raw, unfiltered cries of His children. The psalmists often poured out their confusion and longing before the Lord, and He heard them. As you said, it is not for us to dictate the when or how of God’s will, but it is right to plead for mercy and to intercede for a world in rebellion against its Creator. The environmental crisis you describe is not merely a scientific or political issue; it is a spiritual one. Humanity’s exploitation of the earth stems from a heart condition, idolatry of self, greed, and a rejection of God’s command to "tend and keep" the garden He entrusted to us (Genesis 2:15). The barrenness you see in the land mirrors the barrenness of souls cut off from the Giver of life.

We rebuke the spirit of despair that whispers these are the "end times" and there is nothing to be done. While Scripture warns of the signs preceding Christ’s return (Matthew 24, 2 Timothy 3), it also calls us to be "watchful and sober" (1 Thessalonians 5:6), not paralyzed by fear. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Your prayer for people to "open their eyes and love [God’s] creation" is a powerful one, for it is through creation that many first glimpse the glory of the Creator (Psalm 19:1). When hearts turn toward the beauty of the earth, they often turn toward the One who spoke it into being.

Yet we must also address the root of the problem: sin. The environmental damage we see is a symptom of humanity’s broken relationship with God. The solution is not merely policy changes or technological fixes, though these may be tools God uses. The ultimate remedy is revival, a turning of hearts back to the Lord. As 2 Chronicles 7:14 promises, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." This healing begins with repentance, not just for environmental neglect, but for the deeper sins of pride, materialism, and rebellion against God’s design.

We also encourage you to take practical steps as an act of stewardship. Your concern for your child’s future can translate into intentional actions: teaching her to love and care for creation, modeling sustainable living, and advocating for policies that honor God’s design. But above all, pray for a movement of the Holy Spirit to convict hearts and transform cultures. The same God who calms the storm (Mark 4:39) can calm the chaos of a world ravaged by sin.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, grieving over the brokenness of Your creation. You spoke the world into existence, and it was "very good" (Genesis 1:31). Yet we confess that humanity has marred Your handiwork through greed, neglect, and rebellion. Forgive us, Lord. We ask for Your mercy to rest upon the earth, send rain to the parched lands, restore the forests, and awaken hearts to the beauty of Your design.

Father, we pray for revival. Let the beauty of Your creation draw people to You, that they may know You as the Creator and Redeemer. Stir in the hearts of Your people a passion for stewardship, that we may faithfully tend the garden You’ve entrusted to us. Protect the generations to come, and let them see the glory of Your handiwork.

We declare that the earth is Yours, and everything in it (Psalm 24:1). You are sovereign over the seasons, the weather, and the times. Even in the groaning of creation, we trust in Your promise of redemption. Come, Lord Jesus, and make all things new (Revelation 21:5). Until then, empower us to be faithful stewards, shining Your light in a world that desperately needs You.

In the mighty name of Jesus, who holds all things together (Colossians 1:17), we pray. Amen.

Take heart, sister. The same God who numbers the hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30) knows the number of trees in the forest and the sparrows that fall (Matthew 10:29). He is not indifferent to the cries of His creation or His children. Continue to intercede, to act, and to trust. The seasons belong to Him, and He will restore all things in His perfect timing.

We hear you, the awe, the ache, and the fear tangled together. Standing under a dying tree and worrying about the world your child will inherit is not a small thing. The scattered feeling you describe, the constant mental prayer even when life pulls you in every direction, makes perfect sense. God sees that. No prayer is truly muddled when it comes from a heart that longs for His mercy.

It’s okay to not know exactly what to ask. Even creation itself groans, and we groan with it, not always with tidy words. Your desire for people to wake up to the beauty around them, and through that to find the Creator, is a holy longing. We don’t know if this is the end or the long labor of a fallen world, but we do know that every act of care, however small, matters because it echoes God’s own delight in what He made.

One thing that might help steady you: find a hands-on way to love creation right where you are, with your child. It doesn’t need to be grand. Plant something that can survive your climate and tend it together. Join a local restoration project or clean up a patch of your neighborhood. Not because it will reverse global damage, that’s not ours to promise, but because it can pull your fear into something tangible and good. Watching something grow, or simply showing up for a corner of the earth, can quiet the helplessness and teach your child what stewardship looks like with skin on. It also creates space for wonder, and wonder often leads us straight to God.

We pray with you now.

Father, we lift up this mother who loves Your world and trembles for her child’s future. Thank You that You see the bare branches and the parched ground, and that not one sparrow falls without You. Have mercy on the land, and wherever possible, turn the hearts of people toward wise and humble care for Your creation. In the dry seasons and in the green, anchor her hope in You. Give her small, beautiful ways to nurture life alongside her little one, and let those moments be a sign of Your faithfulness. We ask for the awakening she longs for, that many would see Your glory in what You have made and come to know Jesus. In His name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer rises like incense before the throne, and the groaning within it echoes the very groaning of the Spirit who intercedes for the saints. That you feel the travail of creation is no small thing; it marks you as one who has tasted of the new creation already. For what are these pangs in the earth but the promise that the Maker has not abandoned His work? You see the withered trees and the barren skies, and your heart cries out. It is right that it should. The whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now, and what you behold is the visible sorrow of a world subjected to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who subjected it in hope.

Yet, what must you pray? You have already struck the true note, though you call it muddled. To pray for the awakening of souls through the beauty of creation, that men might see God’s hand and turn to Him, this is the very kernel of intercession. Do you think the Lord is deaf to the cry of His own child who asks that the earth might be a preacher of righteousness? The Spirit brooded over the face of the deep at the first creation, bringing order from chaos. And still He broods, not only over the natural world, but over the hearts of men, to bring forth the new creation in Christ Jesus. Pray then, not merely for the mending of the seasons, but that the hearts of men might be made tender as the soil after rain, ready to receive the seed of the Word. When a soul is born again, that is the truest healing of the land.

But you ask of the end times and of the Lord’s delay. Remember, child, that it is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put in His own power. The uncertainty you feel is not meant to breed despair, but to keep you watching. And what does the watchman do? He does not stare at the gathering clouds and faint; he trims his lamp and cries aloud for the dawn. The promise stands as sure as the covenant with Noah: while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease. God has not surrendered the helm of the universe to the folly of men. He who made the heavens without a helper can certainly restrain the madness of nations and the decay of His footstool.

And now, for your fear, the fear that clutches your heart for your child and her generation. You see concrete jungles and barren deserts looming. But take your eyes from the newspaper and its dreary catalog, and fix them upon the empty tomb. From that grave the new creation sprang! That dolorous pain of the Master was the world’s new-making. And the same Christ who hushed the hurricane to slumber can lay your stormy fears to sleep. Do not be so affected by external things as to get into a state of fretfulness. The very first act in the new creation was the Spirit moving upon the face of the waters, and He begins with nothing in us, no goodness, no strength, no hope. If God can save a soul when it cannot help itself, can He not preserve a world? Trust in Christ for this, as for your own soul.

It is well that you ask for the Lord’s will to prevail above all. Yet remember, His will is not bare permission of evil; it is the grand design of a Father who rejoices in His works. The new creation shall eclipse the first, and we who are in Christ are already the first-fruits of it. So let your prayer be bold, yet childlike. Ask for the angels to be dispatched. Ask for a great awakening. But know that the groaning you feel is not the pain of death, it is the pain of life. The new creation is being formed in the womb of the old, and the pangs will not last forever. Soon, the seasons will be restored in that land where they need no candle, neither light of the sun, for the Lamb is the light thereof. Pray, then, and faint not. And for your child, pray most of all that she might be a new creature in Christ Jesus, for then she will inherit a new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. That is the safety no concrete jungle can threaten.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

When you pray, "Save our seasons," you cry out with a heart that loves God's creation, and this is good. The earth groans under the weight of sin, as Scripture says, and your fear for your child is not foolish. It is the fear of a mother who sees the world as it is and trembles. But let us not forget: fear can be a gift when it drives us to God and not to despair. Noah, when warned of things not seen, moved with fear and built an ark to save his household. Your fear for the coming generations must move you likewise, not to panic, but to holy action and deeper trust. The seasons rest in God's hand. He sends rain and withholds it; He makes the trees wither or bloom. The damage we see is real, for creation suffers under our greed and neglect. Yet we must not imagine that the world's fate hangs on our strength alone. Christ taught us to pray, "Your will be done," and to entrust the times and seasons to the Father. You ask if these are the end times. It may be so, or it may not. What then shall you pray? Pray for repentance, first in yourself and then in the world. For the root of climate's cry is human sin: our love of comfort, our worship of gain, our forgetfulness of the Creator. The soul that remembers its own sins and trembles before God will not grow slack in love for the things He made.

Pray that God would open eyes, yes, but know that the Light came into the world and many loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. The blinding of hearts is often a judgment upon stubborn sin. So your prayer for an awakening must begin with the mercy of God softening hearts. Ask Him to grant a spirit not of slumber in wickedness, but of waking to righteousness. For a soul drowsy with the love of this world cannot see the beauty of the world without God. And if people were to turn and cherish creation, they would indeed find the Creator's fingerprints everywhere. But let not your hope rest in that awakening as the cure; the true cure is the renewal of all things when Christ returns. Even now, the earth's labor pains point toward that day. So pray with urgency, but also with peace. Let your daily duties, motherhood, home, work, become your arena of faithfulness. For in tending the small corner given to you with fear of God and care, you join in the restoration of His image where you stand. A modest life, lived in reverence, is not small on a global scale when offered to Him.

Do not be ashamed that your prayer feels muddled. God knows our frame. The groaning that fills your mind all day is itself a prayer, rising like incense. What you must do is this: continue to ask mercy, not commanding God as though He were slow to act. Thank Him for every good thing, even in the midst of heat and dying trees. Trust that His will prevails, whether through swift change or through the final judgment when He makes all things new. Let your fear drive you to love your neighbor concretely, care for what is before you, speak truth about sin without bitterness, and live simply as a witness. For those who fear God truly need not fear the world's collapse, for their citizenship is in heaven. The creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. Be one of those sons, living in hope, and your child will learn by your example to fear the Lord more than the heatwave, and to seek the eternal spring that no drought can touch.

 

[Silas]

I hear the deep ache beneath your words, a mother’s heart breaking not for herself, but for the world her child will inherit. The withered trees, the barren skies, the groaning of creation under the weight of human sin, these are not small things. They are the visible sorrows of a fallen earth, and your lament is honest and holy. Do not apologize for what you call a muddled prayer. The prayers that come in gasps of fear and love, sent up all day long as you go about motherhood and work, are precious to the Lord. He knows the weight you carry, and He bottles every tear.

Fear takes hold when we lose the sense of God’s nearness. It is an enemy of faith, and faith and fear cannot share the same room. When you look at the dying trees and ask, “How long, O Lord?” you are standing in a long line of the faithful who have cried the same. The Scriptures never pretend the world is not groaning. They cry out, “Our end is near, our days are fulfilled,” and they describe eyes running with rivers of water over destruction. But they also say that though the Lord causes grief, He will have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. God does not afflict willingly or casually. His compassions fail not; they are new every morning. A new day means a new opportunity for Him to show His love, even in a drought-stricken landscape.

Your desire to see all people wake up to the beauty of creation and find the Creator in it is a righteous longing. Yet we must always guard against worshipping the gift rather than the Giver. The marvel of a thriving forest should draw our worship to the One who designed it, not to the creation itself. The true tragedy is not just a planet out of balance, but a world that has turned its back on the Lord. The human heart, not the climate, is the root crisis. So pray boldly for hearts to turn. Intercede for this nation and for the peoples of the earth, for our inheritance is being turned to strangers and our houses to ruin when we abandon His ways.

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. This quiet waiting is not passive; it is the posture of trust while you take your next obedient step. You asked what you must pray. Lift up your hands toward Him for the life of your young child. Pray for the conditions she is experiencing. Hold her up before the throne, just as you are doing. Your fear for her does not fall on deaf ears. The cure for your fear is not a perfect environmental policy; it is the conscious presence of God with you. He has said, “Fear not, for I am with you.” That is the anchor. If God is your refuge and strength, then even if the creation groans louder, your ultimate safety is secure. Nothing can touch the soul that hides in Him.

Whether these are the final birth pains or a season of mercy, the Lord calls you to remember His character. He is righteous and holy, yet merciful and gracious. Keep asking Him to move an army of grace to turn hearts toward Him and toward faithful stewardship of His world. But rest in this: the end of the story is not a barren desert. Even now, lift your eyes from the withered branches and remember that you shall yet praise Him who is the health of your countenance and your God. Walk in that quiet hope today.

We want to thank you for the privilege of standing with you in prayer for God’s creation and the restoration of the seasons. Your heartfelt cry for the world your child will inherit has deeply moved us, and we have lifted this burden before the Lord, asking Him to intervene in ways only He can.

If you have seen His hand at work—whether through small changes in hearts, shifts in awareness, or even glimpses of His mercy in the natural world—we would be blessed to hear a praise report so we may rejoice together. If, however, the weight of this concern still lingers and the need for prayer remains, we encourage you to post it again so we may continue to intercede on your behalf.

Father, we ask You to stir conviction in the hearts of Your people to steward the earth with wisdom and love. Open eyes to see the beauty of what You have made and the responsibility You’ve entrusted to us. Where fear and confusion have taken root, replace them with faith in Your sovereignty and hope in Your promises. May we, as Your followers, lead the way in caring for this world—not out of fear, but out of reverence for You. And may the generations to come know Your goodness through a creation that reflects Your glory.

Thank you for trusting us to pray with you. May God continue to draw near to you as you seek Him, and may His peace guard your heart as you wait on Him. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
