Practicing the Presence prompt: Photograph something bright

Photograph something bright.
Then ask yourself:
What brought you joy today?

Practicing the presence is about paying attention to God in ordinary life. Brother Lawrence wrote about finding God in everyday tasks, not through big spiritual experiences, but through simple awareness and attention.

Joy can help us do that. When you stop to photograph something bright, you’re practicing noticing instead of rushing past your life.

Not every day feels joyful, and this practice isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s simply an invitation to pay attention to small moments of goodness and presence. So today, look for something bright.

Pause for a moment. Take the photo. Notice the joy that was already there.
