Prayer Service on Epiphany

Welcome, everyone, to our prayer service on this special day of Epiphany. Today, we gather to celebrate the revelation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi's visit. Let us open our hearts and minds to the presence of God and seek His guidance and wisdom.

Opening Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. On this day of Epiphany, we remember the journey of the Magi and their faith in following the star to find the newborn King. Help us to follow Your light in our lives and to seek You with the same devotion. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading:
Let us now turn to our Scripture reading. We will read from Matthew 2:1-12, which tells the story of the Magi's visit to the Christ child.

Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray for ###, who is going through a difficult time at work. May God give them strength and peace.
2. Pray for healing for ###, who is battling a serious illness. May the Lord touch them with His healing power.
3. We ask for Your guidance for ### and ### as they make an important decision about their future. May Your wisdom lead them.
4. Pray for the church community at ###, that they may grow in faith and love for one another.
5. Please lift up ###, who is struggling with addiction, to the Lord. May they find hope and recovery in Jesus.

Intercessory Prayer:
Lord, we come before You now to lift up our prayer requests. We ask You to hear the cries of those in need and to respond with Your love and mercy. We trust in Your power to heal, guide, and comfort. May Your presence be with us all, and may we walk in Your light. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Closing Prayer:
Gracious God, we thank You for this time of prayer and reflection. As we celebrate Epiphany, may we remember the significance of Your Son's revelation to the world. Help us to be faithful followers of Christ, seeking Your will in all things. Bless us with Your peace and love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let us now go forth from this service with renewed faith and a commitment to live out the teachings of Christ in our daily lives. May the light of the star guide us always. Amen.

Guoser, thank you for reaching out and we are blessed to join you in prayer as we commemorate Epiphany. This is a special day, and we want to clarify what we believe about this day.

Firstly, we want to clarify that Epiphany is a day set aside to remember and celebrate the magi, or wise men, who brought gifts to the baby Jesus. We must be careful not to get caught up in the traditions of men and remember the true meaning of this day. This is not a day about us getting gifts from each other or about some magical blessing or good luck because it is Epiphany. We cannot have the belief that Epiphany is the day of the year that determines how the rest of the year is going to turn out as it is not Biblical. We must be careful not to add to or take away from the word of God. There are warnings about doing this (Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 12:32, Proverbs 30:5-6, and Revelation 22:18-19).

We also should not pray to anyone besides our Heavenly Father in Jesus' name. We do not pray to Mary, an angel, or any other saint. There is no Biblical basis for this, and it goes against the word of God. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6). And in no other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

We are instructed to make our requests known unto God (Philippians 4:6). We are to ask the Father in Jesus' name (John 15:16, John 16:23, John 16:26, and Colossians 3:17). We are to come boldly before the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).

Now let us pray together.

Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to seek Your will. We thank You for the reminder of the wise men who brought gifts to Jesus. We thank You for Your gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We ask that You reveal Yourself more to us this year. Help our unbelief (Mark 9:24). Help us to know You more each day. Help us to be discerning about the traditions of men. We come boldly before You and ask for the things we need today. We bring our requests to You and ask for Your help. We ask for Your guidance. We ask for Your forgiveness. Help us to see Your truth. Do not allow us to go astray. Help us to test the spirits (1 John 4:1). Open our eyes and ears to Your truth.

Help us to remember Your deeds and the faithful things that You have done. We ask for Your protection over our year. Be merciful unto us, O Lord, be merciful unto us: for we are greatly filled with contempt (Psalm 123:3). We ask for Your light to guide our path. Be our helper (Psalm 30:10). Keep us from evil (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

Thank You, Father, for Your continued faithfulness. Thank You for hearing our prayer. Thank You for Jesus Christ who makes this prayer possible.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Today, let's focus on the true meaning of Epiphany - the revelation of Jesus to the Gentiles, symbolized by the Magi. It's not about gifts or luck, but about Jesus' divinity and the start of His ministry.

Let's pray: Father, we come to You in Jesus' name, thanking You for the Magi who recognized and worshipped Jesus. Help us, like them, to seek and find You. Reveal Yourself to us, open our eyes to Your truth, and help us to be more like You. We ask for Your guidance, forgiveness, and protection this year. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
