Puritan Thomas Watson answers this question in his The Godly Man’s Picture, providing good thoughts for prayer for myself and others (pp. 50-53):
1. If we are prizers of Christ, then we prefer him in our judgments before other things. Gregory Nazianzene solemnly blessed God that he had anything to lose for Christ’s sake.
2. If we are the prizers of Christ, we cannot live without him. Can those who profess to prize Christ manage well enough to be without him? Do those prize Christ who can sit down content without him?
3. If we are prizers of Christ, then we shall not complain at any pains to get him. Many say they have Christ in high veneration, but they are not industrious in the use of means to obtain him.
4. If we are prizers of Christ, then we take great pleasure in Christ.
5. If we are prizers of Christ, then we will part with our dearest pleasures for him. He who esteems Christ will pull out that lust which is his right eye. How can they be said to prize Christ who will not leave vanity for him?
6. If we are prizers of Christ, we shall think we cannot have him at too dear a rate. The apostles esteemed their fetters more precious than bracelets of gold (Acts 5:41).
7. If we are prizers of Christ, we will be willing to help others to get a part in him. This shows how few prize Christ, because they do not make more effort that their relations should have a part in him.
8. If we are prizers of Christ, then we prize him in health as well as in sickness; when we are enlarged, as well as when we are straightened.
