That November 22, 1963, was the day a U.S. president was assassinated cannot be forgotten, but it was also the day the author, apologist, professor and luminary C.S. Lewis died in England.<\/p>\n
His Chronicles of Narnia<\/em> were hallmarks of my youth, as they were for my kids, and time and again I meet Christians who found their faith through C.S. Lewis\u2019 writings.\u00a0 His influence seems to have grown since his death, not diminished.\u00a0 Here, in honor of his memory, are 10 of his best quotes on prayer:<\/p>\n \tNotice: JavaScript is required for this content.<\/p>\n \/* FORM STYLES *\/<\/p>\n #nf-form-5-cont { \/* FIELDS STYLES *\/<\/p>\n .nf-form-content .nf-field-container #nf-field-27-wrap { \u201cRelying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is much easier to pray for a bore than to go visit him.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFor most of us the prayer in Gethsemane is the only model.

The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTo be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou can’t know, you can only believe\u2014or not.\u201d<\/p>\nCommunity Newsletter<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
