- Franz Kafka

About this Quote

This quote by Franz Kafka speaks to the significance of both prayer and striving in life. Prayer is the relationship we have with our fellow guy, and it is through prayer that we draw strength and assistance. Aiming is the relationship we have with ourselves, and it is through aiming that we can accomplish our goals and reach our complete capacity. Prayer and making every effort are both essential for a meaningful and fulfilling life. Prayer helps us to get in touch with our fellow man and to find strength and assistance in times of trouble. Striving assists us to press ourselves to reach our objectives and to become the best variation of ourselves. Together, prayer and striving can help us to live a life of purpose and satisfaction.

"I prayed to dispel my fear, until suddenly, and I do not know how the idea came to me, I began to pray for others. I prayed for everyone who came into my thoughts - - people with whom I had traveled, those who had been in prison with me, my school friends of years ago. I do not know how long I continued my prayer, but this I do know - - my fear was gone! Interceding for others had released me!"
