Lewis's "Work and Prayer" delves into the nature of petitionary prayer and its compatibility with the attributes of God. Lewis uses analogies to illustrate how prayer can be a form of causality, even with an all-knowing and all-good God. He argues against the notion that prayer is only for children or savages, emphasizing its importance within the Christian tradition.
The essay explores the relationship between human action and prayer, suggesting that both are divinely ordained ways of causing things to happen.
Lewis's work challenges conventional views on prayer and offers a unique perspective on its significance.
