May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering. — Psalm 141:2

Prayer as incense—that's the picture in. And it's beautiful. Exodus 30 shows the altar of incense in the tabernacle, a picture of Christ's continual intercession. He always lives to make intercession for us. Your prayers don't ascend on their own merit; they rise through the perfect incense of Christ's blood and priestly work. Pray boldly—your High Priest carries every request.
