Ethan Erickson’s Reviews > The Screwtape Letters & Screwtape Proposes a Toast > Status Update

This section ended with Screwtape foreshadowing the subject of “next week’s” letter. How the demons can exploit the troughs in our walk. I’m very curious to Lewis’s insight on this topic!

Contemplating my prayer life. Am I understanding of the fact that in my present state, I cannot understand the magnitude of who I am praying to? Do I pray to what I imagine Him to be like or do I pray to who He is? Are my prayers more focused on how I feel or who He is and what he promises (feeling of forgiveness vs. forgiveness)?

Just made it through the second letter. I’m already blown away by the way that these tactics, though seemingly obvious, are so difficult to self identify.
