Prayer based on Leviticus 8

Our Father, Your holy Son was set apart for the work that He came to do. Just as the Old Testament priests were washed with water and were clothed with special garments, and just as they were anointed with holy oil, Your Son has received the substance of these shadows. In His baptism, He identified with sinners and acknowledged our need for great cleansing. He was clothed with our sins so that we might be granted His robes of holy righteousness. He was filled with Your Spirit beyond measure. He was installed to all of His offices forever through His resurrection from the dead. Now He lives at Your right hand in the eternal sanctuary. He is our Prophet, Priest, and King. In Him, we are near You in Your holy presence forever. Even now we have been consecrated for Your service. We give ourselves to the work of Your Kingdom. All things necessary for Your Son’s reign over us have been fully accomplished, and we stand ready to serve You in accord with Your holy will.
