Teach us to guard our hearts with diligence, for from it flow the currents of life you have entrusted to us.

God of life,
We thank you for the gift of life that flows through each act of giving blood.

God of the Wise,
On this Epiphany, shine your light upon our hearts as you once guided the wise ones on their journey. Awaken in us the gift of prayer, that we may pause, listen, and be led by your quiet wisdom. May each prayer open our eyes to your presence in our work, our patients, and one another. Guide us, that we may follow your light with trust and devotion each day, as did the Wise men so many years ago. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer

God of choices,
Help us choose today what we would one day wish we had chosen at life’s end—compassion over hurry, presence over distraction, and kindness over self-concern. Guide our hands and heart in the work of this healing ministry, that each decision reflects your wisdom and mercy. When the pressures of the day pull us in many directions, anchor us in your purpose so we may offer love that endures beyond this moment. We ask this in your name. Amen.
