Status Updates From Screwtape Letters

In a word, the future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most completely temporal part of time - for the past is frozen and no longer flows, and the present is all lit up with eternal rays… hence nearly all vices are rooted in the future. Gratitude looks to the past and love to the present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead

Takeaway from Ch. 4- When we pray, the devil wants us either distracted or praying lazy prayers from when we were kids (nothing wrong with those when you are a child, but with maturity comes more in-depth prayers). The devil wants us completely reliant upon feelings and emotions rather than faith.

I have to listen to this on 0.75 speed 😂
