Prayer based on Exodus 39

Glorious Lord, Your Son is High Priest forever. He is perfect in holiness. Our names are written on His hands, and Your people are upon His heart, like stones of remembrance. Thank You for Your wonderful thoughts toward us. Though we are weak and sinful, You have not forgotten us. Your Son has won a great victory for Your elect. Thank You, Father, for the hope that we have, for we will see Your Son face to face. We long for that day. Help us to use our time well as we serve You here below. May we remember the beauty of Your Son, with whom You are well-pleased. May it be our glory to magnify the name of Your Son. He serves us even now in His special care for the church. Words of comfort and blessing come to us from this One Mediator, who is most holy to You. Finish Your perfect and holy work in building Your tabernacle, and assemble us finally and fully in Your presence, filling us with Your blessed Holy Spirit. We lift up our prayers to You with confidence, for You have done great things, and Your promises are sure. We believe You, O Lord God. Build Your church throughout the world. May we always do what You have commanded. Bless us from heaven even now.
