Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.”
Matthew 2:1–2 (RSV)

O Lord, on this blessed morning of Epiphany, we reflect upon the journey of the Magi. Just as they followed the star to find the newborn King, guide us today with Your light. Lead us in paths of righteousness, truth, and love. May our hearts be open to recognize Your divine presence in our lives, as the wise men recognized Christ in a humble manger.
Gracious Father, imbue us with wisdom to seek You earnestly, courage to overcome obstacles in our faith journey, and joy in discovering Your grace anew each day. As the star of Bethlehem shone brightly in the night sky, let Your love shine in us and through us, illuminating the darkness around us.
Bless our endeavors this day, O God. May our actions reflect the light of Christ, leading others to Your glory. Help us to embody the spirit of the Magi, offering our best to You in all we do. We pray for those who, like the wise men of old, are seeking truth and meaning. May they find You and rejoice with exceedingly great joy.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King, Amen.
May this prayer guide you and give you peace as you go through your day.
