God of all creation, whose handiwork exceeds our understanding, open our eyes to see what you have wrought, that we would recognize what you are communicating to us through your works and hear your reassurances and wisdom in the world you created, through Christ our Lord who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
‘He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”‘ – Gen. 15:5
