Once a man was asked, “What do you gain by regularly praying to God?”
“Nothing,” was his response. “But let me tell you what I lose: anger, ego, greed, depression, insecurity, selfishness, and fear of death.”
Sometimes the answer to our prayers is not found in gaining, but in losing, which in the long run is ultimately a gain! – Fr. John Memorich
Thank you to my friend John. I strive to follow your example.
A wonderful reminder that loss can be gain!

I love this! I believe that we also gain a closeness to God as we communicate our inner thoughts, feelings, and struggles to Him–and as we thank Him for His love and grace toward us. Blessings, Ray!
