This excerpt from a prayer by John MacArthur speaks volumes to challenge us in our walk with Christ.
"Now when we ponder the cross, we are reminded of how much Christ has done for us. There we also learn the need to separate ourselves from worldly vanities. There we see the extent of true humility. There we find assurance of our salvation, motivation for self-denial, hope to cheer our troubled hearts, love to energize our obedience, a grand example to guide our footsteps, and a powerful reminder that our only reasonable service is to become living sacrifices of praise. So we stand now in prayer under the shadow of the cross, realizing that this is the only place we could ever find true contentment amid the difficulties of life's trials and heartaches. Here is where all our needs are met and more!"
