We enter your sacred prayer space, pausing from our schedules and plans. You invite us to participate in your great mystery, to experience life beyond the limits of physical space and time. We marvel at your seasons, continuous renewal and eternity.

We marvel at the revelations of how you have journeyed with us and guided our footsteps. We rest at the intersection of your good news of Christ’s salvation and our faithful response. Give us words to tell our stories; open the ears of those who hear.

God, we bow down along with the magi and worship you. Jesus, we acknowledge your divinity and your kingship. May our prayers rise like incense. Thank you for your gifts of wisdom, life, and healing. Thank you for the gifts of Epiphany.

Thank you, Divine Family, for this sacred time with you. Thank you for Jesus, who is the image of God, helping us to see, know, and experience your love in real and tangible ways. Thank you, our purpose is in Jesus.

We journey together upon your Ancient Path, in the company of friends and family. With our attention on each other, we sometimes lose sight of you and are no longer in your presence. We give thanks that we know you are in your sacred prayer space, waiting for us to return to you.

Loving God, your ways are not our ways. We confess our lust for power, reputation, and status. Thank you for your gentle reminder we are your beloved creation. You love us. Thank you, the Holy Spirit is a gift of grace, mercy, and intimacy. May we be conduits of your love and Spirit to bless others and not to control them. We love you.
