Prayer 2540: Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
Almighty One,
Creator and Redeemer of the World,
we worship you with joy,
offering your our thanks and praise.
Lord Jesus, you entered the waters of baptism
to stand alongside us
and show us the way of discipleship:
may we ever remember your kinship with us,
and strengthen our resolve to fellowship and peace.
Through You, we know we are beloved,
that God's abiding care envelops us
on our best days as well as our worst.
Your grace sustains us, O Savior,
and calls to turn and embrace the Way of Life and Hope.
By the power of the Holy Spirit
anoint us to your service, O God.
Bless and keep us as we embody your healing hands in the world,
and protect those who work, or watch, or weep this day.
Amen.
