God of light and life,
Thank you for the gift of sunshine.
For the ways it nourishes and feeds the earth and all creation.
For the intricate ways sun brings life to the world.
For the powerful ways sun brings hope to my heart.
Remind me that the sun is one of your gifts to your beloved world.
Help me to see your presence in sun and shadow.
In the brilliant blue sky.
In the green and flowering growth that fills our springtime world.
Though not every day is a sunny one, help me enjoy the gift of sunshine whenever it comes.
Amen.
