God wanted people to look for him, and perhaps in searching all around for him, they would find him. But he is not far from any of us. It is through him that we are able to live, to do what we do, and to be who we are. [Acts 17:27-28a (ERV)]

O Lord, I see your hand when I hike in the mountains or hold a baby. I feel your presence and marvel at your extravagance when I’m in a garden or at the zoo. It’s easy to see your hand in moments of beauty and joy or when my breath is taken away by the wonders of your creation. Help me, Lord, to behold you in those lesser moments of life. Show me how to find you in times of challenge and fear, doubt and stress, and even tragedy.
