a request of magnitude.

Napoleon and his army once conquered an important island in the Mediterranean Sea. As he and his generals were discussing their victory, a young officer appeared at the door of the tent. He came boldly before the emperor and asked, “Give me this island as my own!” To the amazement of the generals, Napoleon immediately granted him his request for the strategic island. “How could you do that?” asked one of the generals. “What made him worthy to receive this great island?” Napoleon responded, “I gave him the island because he honored me with the magnitude of his request!”

what would that look like in our prayer life?
