About this Quote
This quote by Aesop is a reminder that prayer alone is not enough to accomplish our objectives. We should likewise do something about it in order to see our prayers responded to. It is insufficient to just request something; we should likewise put in the effort to make it take place. This quote encourages us to take duty for our own lives and to not rely solely on prayer. It is necessary to keep in mind that prayer is an effective tool, but it is not a replacement for hard work. We need to make every effort to make our dreams a reality, and prayer can help us along the way. By integrating prayer and action, we can achieve our goals and make our dreams come to life.
