“Prayer is getting into relationship with God."

"Isn't it about asking for things we want, and letting God know what's what?"

"No, sir. He already knows what we want and what we need. Prayer is about getting to know him, and worshipping him and trusting him, and thanking him.”
― Jan Karon, Home to Holly Springs

"Really?"
"Oh, by all means. Obviously our murderer is of superior intelligence and nerve. I ruled you out from the start.”
