Prayer based on Hebrews 2

Our Father, help us to pay close attention to Your Word. From the sanctions of the Old Covenant it was clear that obedience to Your Law was a serious duty. How much more serious is the gospel, as the very Word of Your Son! You have put everything in subjection under the feet of Jesus Christ. He was made lower than the angels for a little while in order to face the suffering of death. Now He has been highly exalted forever. We are the children of the age to come, who have all been redeemed by the blood of Christ. He is our merciful and faithful High Priest. He made propitiation for our sins, and is able to help us through every temptation.
