Try to take some time each day this week to sit quietly, let yourself become still, and listen for every sound you can hear. Try to hear the tiniest, faintest sounds.
Do this for a few minutes each day. Then, during the rest of the day, as you go about your life, try to notice the little things that give you a smile, a momentary lift, a flash of relief or hope or joy—anything that makes you want to say, “Yes, there is life here, even in the midst of all this stuff.”
That’s all—just spend a few minutes each day listening for tiny sounds, and the rest of the day looking for tiny signs that God is with you where you are.
