Worship and Prayer - CS Lewis style

It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men - C. S. Lewis

We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. - C. S. Lewis

In commanding us to glorify Him,
God is inviting us to enjoy Him.
- CSLewis

If there is equality, it is in His love, not in us - C. S. Lewis

Where, except in the present, can the Eternal be met? - C. S. Lewis

Christianity is not, in the long run, concerned with either individuals or communities, 

but a new creature.
- C. S. Lewis

If God forgives us we must forgive ourselves
otherwise its like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.
- C. S. Lewis

Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it already.
- C. S. Lewis

We must get over wanting to be needed [by people]
-this is the hardest of all temptations to resist.
- C.S. Lewis

If He who in Himself can lack nothing,
chooses to need us,
it is because we need to be needed.
- CSLewis

The descent to Hell is easy
and those who begin by worshiping power soon worship evil.
-CSLewis

If they are wrong, they need your prayers all the more
and if they are your enemies, you are under orders to pray for them.
- CSLewis

If you want to get warm you move near the fire.
If you want joy, peace, eternal life,
you must get close to what has them.
- CSLewis

Our worst prayers may really be our best.
God seems to speak to us most intimately
when he catches us off guard.
- CSLewis

The New Testament does not envisage solitary religion:
regular assembly for worship is everywhere in the epistles.
- CSLewis

Faith in Christ is the only thing to save you from despair
and out of faith in Him good actions must inevitably come.
-CSLewis

The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men,
and His compulsion is our liberation.
-CSLewis

Christians don't think God will love us because we're good,
but that God will make us good because He loves us.
-CSLewis

God doesn't want something from us.
He simply wants us.
-CSLewis

I think we all sin needlessly by disobeying the apostolic injunction to "Rejoice".
-CSLewis

Joy is the serious business of heaven.
Our merriment must be between people who take each other seriously.
-CSLewis

Continue seeking God with seriousness.
Unless He wanted you, you would not be wanting Him.
-CSLewis
