pray for guidance – may we look up, finding comfort in the knowledge that You are always with us, steering us toward our purpose.

Message: When the wise men beheld the star, their hearts surged with joy. It was not a mere celestial phenomenon; it was a divine signal guiding them toward the fulfillment of God’s promise. This moment of revelation speaks to us deeply today. In our lives, we often seek direction amidst confusion. The star symbolizes hope and divine guidance, illuminating our paths in times of darkness. Just as the wise men responded to the star with rejoicing, we too are called to respond to God’s guidance with joy and gratitude. This holiday season, let us reflect on the stars in our lives—those signs of hope and divine presence that encourage us to seek further, believe more deeply, and rejoice in God’s unfolding plan. Prayer: Heavenly Father, as we gather in this season of anticipation and joy, we lift our hearts to You, seeking your guidance and light. Just as the wise men rejoiced when they saw the star, we too desire to experience the joy that comes from recognizing Your presence in our lives. Help us to open our eyes to the signs and wonders that surround us each day. Teach us to trust Your guidance, especially during times of uncertainty. We acknowledge that life can sometimes lead us down winding paths, filled with questions and challenges. Yet, in those moments, may we look up, finding comfort in the knowledge that You are always with us, steering us toward our purpose. Lord, grant us the wisdom to discern Your will in our lives. May our hearts overflow with gratitude for the blessings we often take for granted. When we find ourselves in the dark, remind us of the stars that shine brightly, guiding us toward hope and renewal. As we celebrate this season, fill our spirits with joy and peace, and help us to share that joy generously with those around us. We pray for those who feel lost or overwhelmed, that they too may find their star and experience the joy of Your love. Allow us to be beacons of light in the world, reflecting Your love and grace to others. May our lives be a testament to Your goodness. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
