A Morning Prayer to Celebrate the First Day of Summer
Daily Meditation
As the sun rises on the first day of summer, our hearts turn toward a season rich with beauty, warmth, and growth—both in nature and in spirit. In today’s prayerful reflection, Lynette Kittle invites us to pause with gratitude and recognize God’s faithful hand in the changing of the seasons.
From plowed fields and grazing livestock to sun-drenched days and fresh green growth, summer is more than a change in weather—it’s a spiritual reminder that God keeps His promises, just as surely as He brings the warmth of summer after a long winter.
Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1 and the promise of enduring seasons in Genesis 8:22, we are reminded that each summer day is a gift and a chance to draw nearer to God, to grow deeper roots in faith, and to praise Him for His steadfast love.
