Lord, You promise to be found by those who seek You with intention and love (Proverbs 8:17). Forgive me when my hurried life blurs my vision and distracts my heart. Slow my steps. Quiet my mind. Help me to look for You — not just in sacred places but in grocery store aisles, quiet moments, and everyday encounters. Remind me that You are near, not hidden. Teach me to seek You with focus and joy, knowing You delight to be found. May my days be marked by attention, not just activity — by presence, not just productivity. And as I search for You, let me discover Your love meeting me right where I am. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
