Quote by Dag Hammarskjold

Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just because it is God whom you ask to attend to them.

Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just

Summary

This quote suggests that simply asking God to fulfill our desires and cravings does not automatically make it a meaningful prayer. It emphasizes that our innate human desires should not be mistaken for genuine spiritual connection or divine worship. Merely turning to God to fulfill our selfish desires does not elevate it to the level of reverent prayerming indication that genuine prayer should be rooted in a deeper understanding and connection with a higher power, rather than being driven by our selfish whims.
