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

This quote by Dag Hammarskjold is a suggestion that our prayers must not be focused solely on our own desires and cravings. We must not anticipate God to attend to our cravings just because we ask Him to. Instead, our prayers ought to be concentrated on seeking God's will and guidance, and requesting for His help in fulfilling it. We must not expect God to just grant us our every dream, as if He were a genie in a bottle. Instead, we must aim to align our will with His, and seek His help in accomplishing it. This quote is a pointer that our prayers ought to be focused on seeking God's will, not our own desires.
