We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

“Creation Flows Unceasingly” Community of Christ Sings 107

Creation flows unceasingly out of the timeless mind of God.
Its power moves upon the deep and endless reaches of the void.

The morning stars lift up their song and all creation shouts for joy.
The ebb and flow of countless forms proclaim divine activity.

From God’s own image being comes, in human form female and male;
One in the glory of the light, one in the likeness of their Lord.

Spirit and element unite in the intelligence divine—
God’s work of immortality without beginning, without end.

Prayer Phrase

“In his hand is the life of every living thing” (Job 12:10).

Trees

Watch the trees outside your window for a few moments. Close your eyes and meditate on Alma’s words about seeds and trees. If you were to plant and grow the Word of God in your heart, what tree might symbolically represent this process? Imagine a seed as it grows into a tree of life and blessing. Ask God to show you how to begin (see Alma 16:152–173).
