Episode Details

In this enlightening episode, we explore Clive Staples Lewis’s profound explanation of a common spiritual question: How can God listen to millions of prayers simultaneously? 🕊️💬C.S. Lewis addresses this skepticism by highlighting the limitations of human time perception and how they affect our understanding of God's omniscience.

For humans, time unfolds in a linear progression—past, present, and future—but God exists outside of time as we know it. Lewis illustrates this by comparing God's relationship to time with an author writing a story, able to contemplate each moment infinitely. 📖🕰️🔑 Key Insights:

• God's timelessness: Unlike humans, who experience time as a sequence of events, God perceives all moments simultaneously, allowing Him to attend to each prayer with undivided attention ⏳🌌
• Prayers are always heard: Lewis reassures that God is not limited by the sheer volume of prayers or overwhelmed by our human perception of time. Every prayer is heard and valued individually, free from the constraints of our temporal reality 🙏✨
• Divine focus: The analogy of an author writing a story helps us understand how God can focus infinitely on every moment, granting each prayer intimate engagement and care, no matter how many are uttered 📚💡

C.S. Lewis’s perspective invites believers to approach prayer with confidence, knowing that God hears and values each communication. This episode not only tackles a common spiritual dilemma but deepens our understanding of divine omniscience and how it transcends the boundaries of time and space.🎧 Join us as we explore how God’s timeless nature enriches the concept of prayer, and why you can trust that your prayers are always heard.
