before whom all the flowers of the field bow down,
as with gratitude we recognise
your provision and possibility for all on earth,
clothe us in your humble beauty
and draw us to the new simplicity
that Jesus reveals within us.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Matthew 6:28–30 (ESV)
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
