"Prayer, then, is not just the informing of God of our needs, for he already knows them.  "You have a Father in heaven who knows that you need them all" (Mt 6:32).  Rather, the purpose of prayer is to give Him the opportunity to bestow the gifts He will give us when we are ready to accept them."

  -  Fulton J. Sheen
