Dear God of Love and Justice,

As I reflect on Climate Change and Hope in my life today, I am reminded of your wisdom found in 2 Corinthians 8:13-15. Help me to see this area of my life through your eyes of love and respond with the compassion and justice you have shown me.

Guide me to be a light in the darkness, bringing hope and healing wherever I encounter Climate Change and Hope. May my actions reflect your character of love and work for the transformation of our world into your kingdom of justice and peace.

In the name of the One who came to bring good news to the poor and freedom to the oppressed, Amen.

Take a moment today to consider how God might be calling you to engage with Climate Change and Hope in a way that honors the divine image in all people and works for justice in our world. The devotional life is not just about personal growth—it's about being transformed to transform the world around us.
