"And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith."

One day they asked me: "What do you gain by praying to God every day?" The question captivated my attention and I spent a good long time thinking about it. "The truth is that we do not pray to gain something," I answered firmly. In that moment I realized that we really lose a lot when we pray. That's right, we lose fury, anger, insecurities, sadness, and an infinite amount of negative feelings. Also, we put aside our own ego, engaging in a conversation gifted to the Lord. That is our greatest gain, giving ourselves to His divine grace, to learn from our daily life and study His teachings.
This way we may have a moment in our day to be able to think about what happened, and to reflect on our attitudes towards our brothers. Having a space of silence and evaluation will allow us to gain trust, love, and respect. We will gain tranquility and peace by being in communion with our neighbor. Following God's commandments we will be in complete surrender as children, in obedience to His Word. Our Father will reward us with a prosperous life full of love, this does not mean that we will never have mistakes, nor that we will be exempt from having challenges and despair in our lives. But we will traverse them accompanied by our Heavenly Father and we will continue to win.
