Lord God the creator of all thing, your Spirit moved over the face of the waters at the dawn of creation. You gather the seas into their places and direct the courses of the rivers.
We praise you for the gift of water
Now our land is dry and barren, thirsting for life-giving rain; send rain upon the earth so that it will bring forth life. May we use only the water we each need and let us take care of and give encouragement to all those whose livelihood depends on the produce of the land.
Amen
From the Rev. Joseph Grech,

1 Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings[a];
honor the Lord for his glory and strength.
2 Honor the Lord for the glory of his name.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea.
The God of glory thunders.
The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is majestic.
5 The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars;
the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
11 The Lord gives his people strength.
The Lord blesses them with peace.
Psalm 29 New International Version
