Day 74 – Giver of All Good Things
Heavenly Father, You have blessed our nation with an abundance of natural resources. Thank You for the minerals of varied kinds, including gold, silver, copper, coal, and as many as 1200 mineral commodities across the nation. Today, we lift up the Bureau of Mines as they conduct scientific research and disseminate information on the extraction, processing, use, and conservation of these mineral resources. Guide them as they work with other agencies in assuring health and safety as well as environmental impacts of mining and the processing of minerals and materials. Help them as they craft protective policies as many of these minerals can be hazardous. Help them to be always looking for new discoveries, and emerging technologies in the minerals field, as they work together with the major corporations and individuals who extract these minerals from the earth.
