It was said, What does it profit a man if he gains the world but loses his soul? True, what is a little or big wealth, fame, even good health and other idols, if we do not really surrender to the Lord? Help us to listen and to obey, learning to trust in the journey of life. How desperate, how frustrated we often may be, but we have no one to run to. Grant, Lord, as we beseech Thee, hear us as we cry out and live as you would have us, not as we think we should. Deliver us from hidden and willful sins, from deceitful hearts and minds that make us stray.
