I’ve gained nothing by praying, but let me tell you what I’ve lost [22 July 2024]

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal. Have Mercy On Us. (3x) Glory be to the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Good morning, and Praise the Lord! Today is Monday July 22, 2024. Today we celebrate Mary Magdalene, Myrrhbearer and Equal-to-the-Apostles.

All holy Trinity have mercy on us. Lord, forgive us our sins; Master pardon our transgressions; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for your name’s sake.

Lord, have mercy (3x)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

1 Cor. 9:2-12

Luke 8:1-3

Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, present everywhere and filling all things. Treasury of blessings and giver of life. Come and abide in us, and save our souls, gracious Lord.

Once a man was asked, “What did you gain by regularly paring to God?” The man replied, “Nothing, but let me tell you what I lost. Anger, ego, greed, depression, insecurity , and fear of death.”

Sometimes the answer to our prayers is not gaining but losing; which ultimately is the gain.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name

Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory forever. Amen.
