Prayer based on Exodus 38

Father God, Your Son gave himself on Your holy altar, not the Old Testament altar in the old temple where bulls and goats were consumed, but a better altar, where our sins were atoned for. We come into Your heavenly courts through Him. We have been washed in the waters of baptism. We are clean because of the blood of Jesus Christ, and the purifying water of the Holy Spirit. We long for Your courts, O Lord. We are already with You in Christ, and yet we are not yet with You, and so we long for You. All Your Son’s work is skillfully done. Our destiny is secure and sure because of His great resurrection. Blessed be Your Name, O Lord. You are God. Jesus is Lord. The Lord is the Spirit. The Spirit is God. There is only One God. Blessed be Your One Name, the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit!
