Prayer based on Mark 14:8. Themes: Service, Sacrifice, Preparation

Dear Lord, I pray that I may always do what I can for you. May I never hold back or hesitate to serve you with all my heart. Just as the woman anointed your body beforehand for the burying, may I also prepare myself for the work you have called me to do. I claim the promise that when I do what I can, you will take care of the rest. Thank you for your faithfulness and for the opportunity to serve you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Verse: She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
Mark 14:8

This is a Promise. The verse is a statement of praise for a woman who has anointed Jesus’ body before his burial. There is no command given to the reader.
