Prayer based on Matthew 26:9. Themes: Generosity, Priorities, Sacrifice.

Dear Lord, help us to always remember the importance of giving to those in need. May we never prioritize material possessions over the well-being of others. Guide us to use our resources wisely and generously, so that we may make a positive impact on the world around us. Amen.

Verse: For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
Matthew 26:9

This is a Command. The verse is a rebuke from Jesus to a woman who anointed his feet with expensive oil instead of selling it and giving the money to the poor. The command is to prioritize helping the poor over personal luxury or extravagance.
