Quote by C.S. Lewis
For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted.
Summary
This quote highlights the nature of prayer as a form of requesting or seeking something. Unlike compulsion or forceful demands, prayer is an act of asking or pleading for something, without the guarantee of it being granted. It acknowledges that the granting of the request is not necessarily within one's control but depends on external factors or higher powers. Therefore, prayer involves a humble and hopeful approach, recognizing the possibility of both acceptance and denial of the request.
