`` People who have n't red hair do n't know what trouble is . Mrs. Thomas told me that God made my hair red ON PURPOSE , and I 've never cared about Him since . And anyhow I 'd always be too tired at night to bother saying prayers . People who have to look after twins ca n't be expected to say their prayers . Now , do you honestly think they can ? '' Marilla decided that Anne 's religious training must be begun at once . Plainly there was no time to be lost . `` You must say your prayers while you are under my roof , Anne . '' `` Why , of course , if you want me to , '' assented Anne cheerfully . `` I 'd do anything to oblige you . But you 'll have to tell me what to say for this once . After I get into bed I 'll imagine out a real nice prayer to say always . I believe that it will be quite interesting , now that I come to think of it . '' `` You must kneel down , '' said Marilla in embarrassment . Anne knelt at Marilla 's knee and looked up gravely . `` Why must people kneel down to pray ? If I really wanted to pray I 'll tell you what I 'd do . I 'd go out into a great big field all alone or into the deep , deep , woods , and I 'd look up into the sky -- up -- up -- up -- into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness . And then I 'd just FEEL a prayer . Well , I 'm ready .
