“…the thing is to rely only on God. The time will come when you regard all this misery as a small price to pay for having been brought to the dependence. Meanwhile (don’t I know) the trouble is that relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.”
C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) in “Letter to Mrs. Lockley: from Magdalen College” on 12 September 1949 in Letters of C.S. Lewis (Orlando, W.H. Lewis and Harcourt, 1966) 395.
