Prayers for Animals
Prayers of gratitude and care for pets, wildlife, and every creature sharing the earth.
This small collection covers two sides of caring for animals: gratitude for the pets that bring companionship at home, and concern for wild creatures and the habitats that sustain them. Each prayer treats animals as part of a creation worth protecting, not just admiring. Younger readers exploring faith topics may enjoy pairing these with children's prayers.
