O God,
You are here in the world with us.
I see your powerful presence in the magnificence of the sea or the strength of a storm.
Your creative presence shows in the colors of a sunset or the beauty of the mountains.
I feel your loving care in moments of compassion with others.
Your abundant generosity fills the world.
I see you in the remarkable work and creativity of the people you have created.
Your presence can even come to me in a soft breeze or gentle bird song.
You are here in the world with me.
Amen.
