Heavenly Father, in Your mercy, You planted a garden in Eden, and in Your greater mercy, You have planted Christ in our hearts through Your Holy Spirit.
Lord Jesus, You are the true Vine, and we are the branches. As we abide in You, make our lives like Eden restored—places where Your presence walks freely and Your peace reigns.
Holy Spirit, tend the garden of our hearts. Root out the weeds of worldly conformity and plant seeds of Your Kingdom. Help us cultivate rhythms of rest in the midst of life’s demands, creating sacred spaces where we can hear Your gentle voice above the noise of the city.
Father, as You placed Adam and Eve as stewards of Eden, help us steward our lives as living ecosystems that reflect Your glory. May our homes become sanctuaries, our relationships bear the fruit of Your love, and our work flow from worship rather than striving.
Transform our chaotic environments into gardens of Your presence. Where there is disorder, bring Your order. Where there is scarcity, reveal Your abundance. Where there is isolation, create community. Where there is meaningless toil, restore purposeful service.
Help us remember that through Christ’s finished work, we are no longer exiled from the garden but invited to walk with You again. May the fruit of Your Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—flourish in the garden of our daily lives.
Until that day when You make all things new and we dwell in the garden-city of the New Jerusalem, let us be living testimonies of Eden restored through Christ our Savior.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
