Last Sunday the Church celebrated a feast called Theophany, where Christians remember and give thanks for the baptism of Jesus. It is also a time where we remember and give thanks for our own baptisms, and take out gifts that we received to remind us of them.

Due to technical issues, I could not post a prayer for this year’s Theophany. So here is a prayer that can be used beyond this special feast. Baptism is about the faithfulness of God, and because He is faithful everyday we should remember our baptisms everyday!

Gracious Father, I thank You for the baptism of Jesus, where You revealed Who He was to the world and Your love for Him which knows no end. Like that moment You have done the same in our baptisms, and showed that we are more than worshipers serving a great deity. We are Your children in whom You are well pleased, and through our lives You offer all people a warm embrace of kinship. May we never see the waters as a monument to our faith and holy works, for they signify Your faithfulness and grace throughout the ages. Your faithfulness which is with us in every hour of the day, and Your grace which carries us until we breathe our final breath. In Your name we pray. Amen.
