O God,
Like the angels, we bow before you in humble address. For we cannot gaze upon you and live. Your holiness makes you attractive. Our hearts leap at the mentioning of your perfect way and your transcendent being. But yet, our eyes cannot bear the sight. Our frame trembles to even think of entering your presence.
But lo, O God. We desire it. We long to be drawn by your hand into it. And we pray that we might partake of it.
So we call upon your name. We pray that your Spirit might minister to us and assist us as we enter into the holy of holies this hour. We praise you that through Christ our Savior we do have access to you this morning. And we pray that it would be effective for our greater sanctification.
But more than that, we pray that we might give to you the worship that is your due.
