" Prayer is not an escape from the world. It will not physically launch us into the heavens (that would make for an interesting church prayer meeting), but it can bring the peace of God to our hearts, causing them to soar. Prayer is the active exercise of trust. In prayer, we hand our cares and hopes to God, and commit them to him. "

― Owen Strachan , Always in God's Hands: Day by Day in the Company of Jonathan Edwards
