“When asked, 'What is more important: Prayer or Reading the Bible?'
I ask, 'What is more important: Breathing in or Breathing out?'”
— Charles Spurgeon
@autocorrect2_0 You also lose fear, anger and worry as you are reminded that there IS someone bigger than you and He IS who He says he is, so you can surrender things to Him.
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.
Prayer educates, strengthens, and heals.
Prayer is the channel that connects us directly to God."
