Prayer based on Luke 2:24. Themes: Sacrifice, Law of the Lord.

Dear Lord, as I come before you today, I pray that I may offer a sacrifice according to your law. May I bring before you a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons as a symbol of my devotion and commitment to you. Help me to always follow your commands and to live a life that is pleasing to you. May my sacrifice be a sweet aroma to you and may it bring glory and honor to your name. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
