Discuss C.S. Lewis’ statement, “If God had granted all the silly prayers I’ve made in my life, where would I be now?”
-
God has put everyone of His children where they are supposed to be. I don’t want to imagine where I would be because it probably wouldn’t be as close to the Lord.
-
I have no idea. God has given me a blessed life, my prayers now are for Him to love others. I’m in need of very little.

God knows what’s best for us. He isn’t going to grant us something that won’t be beneficial especially to our spiritual lives.
-
I wonder if C.S. Lewis used the word “silly” to describe requests, that if answered the way he had hoped were just too short-sighted. Maybe they weren’t selfish or out of God’s will-maybe just uninformed because none of us can see the future and predict the domino effect of just one event.

God doesn’t answer because they are outside His will; the prayers might not even be biblical.
