Quote by Phillips Brooks

Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but for wings.

Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large

Summary

This quote emphasizes the significance of having big hopes and dreams when it comes to prayer. The idea is to not limit ourselves with small and attainable prayers, but instead aim for prayers that push the boundaries of what we believe is possible. It encourages us to seek divine intervention for things that seem beyond our reach, rather than settling for quick fixes or temporary solutions. By praying for wings instead of crutches, we are encouraged to seek divine empowerment and possibilities that surpass our own limitations.
