Dear God, when I set out to find You on days like today—when it's a recurring day above 100 degrees—I sometimes overlook how You make it possible to discover that the world is vibrantly alive with Your presence.
I am grateful I can find You not only in beauty and birdcalls, but also in tragedy and faces filled with grief. You can take the deepest sorrow or the simplest sound of nature and weave it into a pattern for good.
Open my eyes to see today. I pray in Your holy and matchless name. Amen.
