Prayer for “Mary’s Broken Jar”

A companion prayer to the Mary's Broken Jar Daily Devotion.

Scripture of the Day

"Mary took a twelve-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus' feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance." -- John 12:3 NLT

Prayer

Jesus, You know what I am clutching tightly today. I want to be like Mary -- extravagant, unguarded, fully poured out. Give me the courage to break open what I have been protecting, trusting that what You do with it will be far greater than what I could preserve on my own. Amen.
