Prayer based on Exodus 30

O God of Our Fathers, we come to You through the merit and mediation of Your Son Jesus Christ. May our prayers be offered to You in heaven as a sweet incense. You are our God. We want to worship You in accord with Your will. May the blood of Christ speak a good word for us in Your dwelling place. Our lives belong to You. We have been bought with a price. Whether rich or poor, our atonement could only come from that precious blood. We have been washed and cleansed by this same blood, for the death of Your Son has tremendous power for good. You have sent Your Spirit upon Your church, and anointed Your children for Your service. Draw us near to You, that we might come to Your Son as servants of Him and of Your church. We would be Your holy people by Your merciful election and by Your kind providential care. We are so thankful that we are able to meet with You, together with all Your people.
