Prayer based on Leviticus 7

Lord God, what is the fat that was spoken of in Your offerings of old? Together with the blood of the animal, Your people were forbidden to eat of it. What is in the fat of the animal? Is every impurity stored there? It is not suitable for our consumption. We cannot live on that kind of diet. It must be burned before You. The death of Christ has truly removed the guilt and power of sin among Your people. All that is impure in us and all our iniquity has been taken far away from Your church. Your Son was cut off from Your people, that Your people could be brought near to Him. The blood of His sacrifice was precious to You. You set the requirements of complete atonement. You told us what we could eat from the sacrificial meal, and what could not be eaten. We receive the sign and seal of communion with You in Your holy supper. Here we remember the death of Your Son for us, and we are partakers of wonderful blessings by faith.
