This prayer from this morning's reading of chapter 14 of Mark
Loving God, may my life be an anointing of Jesus' role and blessing here on the earth. May every meal be a celebration of Your goodness and provision. May I always honor and remember what You have done for me and the world through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus. May I especially never forget that as I take Holy Communion; for You did and do great things through the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Lord, let my life not ever betray You. Let it instead bless you. May my life be a witness and testimony to what You are doing and can do in the lives of all who open themselves to You.
May I never disown you just to save myself or to escape into temptation.
This I pray in Christ Jesus' precious name, amen.
