A Prayer for Worship: Immersive Prayer Series: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotionals

A Prayer for Worship: Immersive Prayer Series: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotionals In this episode, Rachael reflects on the story of Mary of Bethany, who demonstrated extravagant worship by pouring out her costly treasure at the feet of Jesus. Through guided meditation and prayer, listeners are invited to consider their own acts of love and worship, and to offer their best to Jesus without reservation. The episode culminates in an invitation to a deeper connection with God through an upcoming retreat, Bible Study Live, in Rome. Takeaways: Mary of Bethany's act of worship was bold and misunderstood. Extravagant love for Jesus may not make sense to others. Visualizing the scene helps deepen our understanding of worship. Offering our best to Jesus is a personal and intimate act. Jesus defends our acts of love and worship. We are encouraged to love Jesus without reservation. Our gifts and offerings are seen and valued by Jesus. The fragrance of our worship lingers in the presence of God. We are invited to surrender our fears and objections to Jesus. Bible Study Live offers a space for deeper connection with God.
