Prayer based on Exodus 29

Father God, You have set apart Your Son to be a priest forever. He does not require a ceremonial cleansing or anointing. He has the power of an indestructible life. He has the full anointing of Your Holy Spirit. He is God over all, to be blessed and praised forever. To think that this Jesus intercedes for us! He offered Himself as a sacrifice to You through His death on the cross. We have been sprinkled with that precious blood. Now we are counted as holy. Blessed be Your Name, O God! Through Him we offer You our worship. We give our lives as a living sacrifice. We thank You for the great blessing of participation in Your church, for You have gathered Your people in Christ, and we are counted as holy. We are no longer outsiders, but members of Your household, and fellow-citizens in a heavenly land. We rejoice together with angels for the good things that You have accomplished for the glory of Your name. May we be a pleasing aroma of life before You this day. Sanctify us and consecrate us for Your service. Please dwell among us and be our God, for You are the Lord.
