"There is no need to pray to God for what you deserve, because you will get it. Be brave and ask for more than you deserve. That will stretch your faith!"
Actually, in a strange sense, there is some truth in it. No, not totally, because it is true that we do not deserve anything. All things are given to us only by grace.
However, it does not seem to be "correct" to be only praying the normal "bless me" type of prayer. It is a little like making sure that our prayers do not fail - such that our faith will not be shaken. We ask God only for little things so that we will not be too worried.
No, I am not saying that we should not pray for little things. Neither should we not pray for things which would most probably happen, because even the most "normal" way of things happening, require God's grace to do so. But at the same time we should start praying for greater things. Let us not limit God by asking small.
You were blessed by P{ZM}
