“In order to submit the will to God, we must have a will and that will must have objects. Christian renunciation does not mean stoic ‘Apathy', but a readiness to prefer God to inferior ends which are in themselves lawful. Hence the Perfect Man brought to Gethsemane a will, and a strong will, to escape suffering and death if such escape were compatible with the Father’s will, combined with a perfect readiness for obedience if it were not?" -C.S. Lewis, The Problem Of Pain
