“Prayer is not about the accuracy of the ritual, but about offering up one’s heart. It is not that God, or the world, needs one’s heart, but that we need to be able to offer… Prayer is the moment when we agree not to hide... Sometimes I am surprised at what wells up inside me [when I pray]. I ask for things I did not know I wanted. I pray in words I am surprised are mine. I feel embarrassed, and then ask myself, before whom am I embarrassed? Myself? Surely not before God to whom I am saying nothing unknown.”
