Star/Epiphany Prayers

January 11, 2021 by Sybil Macbeth Leave a Comment

The Feast of the Epiphany was January 6, but the Season of Epiphany continues. The “shining forth” of the Light of Christ deserves more than one day. It is an infinitely expanding event. Right now, I need as much of that Light as I can collect. So I pray, “Let me be a solar panel to absorb Christ’s rays and transform me!”

I love stars as templates for prayers during this season. In the prayer drawing below, I used cookie cutters for several stars and drew a couple freehand. It’s pretty easy to tell which is which. This is a prayer for friends who also need God’s light for healing and comfort. Just in case you are wondering why there are red and blue stars…, there really ARE red and blue stars in the universe. The colors are indicators of their heat. From coolest to hottest: red are the coolest, then yellow, then white, and finally blue are the hottest!

After 18 years,  praying in color still helps me to focus in prayer. My body gets to be part of the prayer and is content. My hands have something to do, my eyes have something to see…, so I can settle into a place of inner quiet. Words may come to me and I pray them. Sometimes I incorporate words into the drawing as I did in this one. If no verbal prayers come, I just focus on the name and imagine the person in God’s care and filled with God’s love and light.

Here are some Epiphany/Star prayers from previous years.

  1. A Stable Lamp is Lighted–hymn words by Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
  2. Job 38:7
  3. Psalm 148:3
  4. 2 Samuel 22:29
  5. Psalm 104:2
  6. Matthew 5:14
  7. Matthew 5:17
  8. Matthew 2:10
