A woman was once asked: What do you "gain" from praying to God regularly?
She replied:
Usually ′′ I don't earn anything ", but rather ′′ I lose things ". And she quoted everything she lost praying to God regularly:
"I lost my pride.
I lost my arrogance.
I lost greed.
I lost my urge.
I lost ′′ my ′′ anger.
I lost the lust.
I lost the pleasure of lying.
I lost the taste of sin.
I lost impatience, despair, and
discouragement".
Sometimes we pray, not to gain something, but to lose things that don't allow us to grow spiritually.
