"O Father,
How we fear the wasting of our years!
Forgive us for our love affair with empty things and our little love for you.
Let us feel the suicidal faith in innocent idols.
Give us fresh freedom from all hollow gems.
Grant us to bear the weight of glory and become more like your Son.
In his all-sustaining name we pray.
Amen"
-John Piper (Pierced By the Word, 27)
