Prayer Quote by Todd Burpo
““I learned that I didn’t have to offer some kind of churchy, holy-sounding prayer in order to be heard in heaven. “You might as well tell God what you think,” I said. “He already knows it anyway.” Most importantly of all, I learned that I am heard. We all are.””

![“I first heard "Heaven Without a Gun" when Kevin [Drew] sent it to me, and there was this kind of beauty about it. I don't live that much in the literal world, so you kind of have to see beyond the veil of what you're being shown sometimes. To me, that's such a beautiful, wonderful sentiment.” quote by Andy Kim](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/277/andy-kim-4097_beautiful_i-first-heard-heaven-without-a-gun-when_512702.jpg)
