Dear God as we celebrate this Epiphany week, when Christ was made manifest as your gift to all the world, we pray for clear and obvious signs of your presence among us today.
O Lord, as the events of the world cause my strength to waiver, remind me that you are my strength.
O Lord as the daily worries of life raise my anxieties, remind me that in you I find my peace.
O Lord when voices try to convince me otherwise, may you remind me that I am your child, fearfully and wonderfully made.
Gracious God bring clarity and light to me on this day. Remind me that in you I may seek refuge. Remind me that your steadfast presence means that I have all that I need. Remind me again that I am yours!
Amen.
by Jerrod Lowry, general presbyter and stated clerk of Presbytery of Coastal Carolina
