Focus
Pay attention to the tension in your body. Let go of it and any expectations to do anything other than God’s will today. Prepare yourself to hear God’s word.

Matthew 26:6-13
6 Now while Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,[a] 7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table. 8 But when the disciples saw it, they were angry and said, “Why this waste? 9 For this ointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has performed a good service for me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12 By pouring this ointment on my body she has prepared me for burial. 13 Truly I tell you, wherever this good news[b] is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her.”

A WOMAN’S PRAYER
“A woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment, and she poured it on his had as he sat at the table.”
Here is this man who is more than man,
His tender spirit has spoken to me,
His eyes have looked into my very soul,
His wise words and tender love have wrapped around my heart,
He knows me better than I know myself,
He has seen my innermost being and has not condemned me.
Sorrow and tragedy are coming upon him,
The time is short.
Rejection and betrayal are coming,
Death is what is in store for him.
I will anoint him for his burial.
I will give what I have in love.
Pray
Lord, you gave everything for me and I am so unworthy. What I have, I give to you in love. Amen
Go with God!
