摘要

长久以来,祷告在基督徒生活中的性质和角色一直是讨论的话题,(就像痛苦和苦难的问题一样)它们没有简单的、公式化的答案。这一章包含了路易斯关于祷告的广泛著作,以及祷告的不同方面,如赞美和忏悔。以其特有的坦率,刘易斯还处理了请愿式祷告的难题——包括由两种新约祷告模式造成的困惑——以上帝的旨意为条件的祷告和以信心为条件的祷告。刘易斯承认他没有保证得到答案的信仰(并且观察到几乎没有基督徒真的有那种信仰),他说基督徒必须从事第一种祷告。刘易斯还讨论了祷告在一个关系宇宙中的作用,在这个关系宇宙中,神寻求与我们的关系,一方面是为了说明祷告不仅仅是祈求,另一方面是为了说明在祷告中与神的关系有助于改变我们。关于路易斯和祷告的另一个话题是神圣天意的本质,如果上帝是永恒的,并且永远知道需要发生什么——为什么要祷告?

Prayer and Providence
The nature and role of prayer in Christian life have long been items of discussion, and (like the problem of pain and suffering) they admit no easy, formulaic answers. This chapter engages Lewis’s extensive writings on prayer in general as well as the different aspects of prayer, such as praise and confession. With characteristic frankness, Lewis also tackles the difficult problem of petitionary prayer—including the perplexity created by two New Testament models of prayer—petitions on the condition that they are God’s will and petitions in faith that they will be granted. Acknowledging that he does not have the faith that assures an answer (and observing that almost no Christians really seem to have that kind of faith either), Lewis says that the Christian must engage in the first type of prayer. Lewis also discusses the role of prayer in a relational universe in which a relational God seeks relationship with us—partly to make the point that prayer is not just petition and partly to make the point that relationship with God in prayer helps transform us. Another topic regarding Lewis and prayer is the nature of divine providence if God is timeless and knows timelessly what needs to occur—why pray?
