[Zulu]

What a ring means to a bride, what the instrument is to a musician, the pen to a writer, the flag to a patriot, the cross is to a Christian. It is the symbol of the suffering servant. It is the guidepost showing the hard road to victory. When a Christian sees the cross he knows he has not lost the way.

- Jack Hayford

We pray when there is nothing else we can do, but Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all
