| "I too had noticed that our prayers for others flow more easily than those we offer on our own behalf. And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons.... One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them.... And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin.... Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray for my besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason." (C.S. Lewis in `Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer') | |||||||||
