2nd Sunday of Epiphany, Collect (Redub)

Creator God,

in Christ you make all things new.

With creation, we long for freedom.

Come and renew our lives and our world,

with your grace and love.

Help us notice such gifts of hope,

so we may point out the signs of

eternal recovery, close at hand.

Amen.
