Magnificent Prayer #221
Magnificent Prayer #221
Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back;
lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.
Isaiah 54:2
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!
PHILLIPS BROOKS
Pray About It: Spread the pegs of your tent wider. God is a big God. He specializes in large answers to large prayers. He will give you wings, not crutches. You can never ask too much. But as high as your requests are, so high shall your praises be.
Prayer plumes the wings of God’s young eaglets so that they may learn to mount above the clouds. Prayer brings inner strength to God’s warriors and sends them forth to spiritual battle with their muscles firm and their armor in place.
