A Good Deed to Jesus in Worship

In Matthew 26:6-16, Jesus said of Mary’s sacrificial offering of worship through the alabaster vial, “She has done a good deed to Me.” That is my prayer for pastors and worship leaders on Sunday morning, that we, through our worship, preaching, and ministering will do a good deed to Jesus, offer up a fragrant offering to Him through our trust and obedience.

Thank You, Lord, for the high and holy privilege of ministry as a worship leader, as a preacher of Your Word. Guide your pastors across our association of churches and beyond, Jesus, to be faithful to the task on this Lord’s day, protected by Your staying power, and prepared through the Spirit’s work to be messengers of hope, truth, and love to those we care for on Sunday. We depend on You, Father, for a fresh measure of grace so that we can be all that You desire, and so that disciples can be born and made, all to Your glory, Lord Christ. Amen!
