"and still obeys"

This is from C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, which is actually the first Lewis book I ever read (though I doubt I understood half of what I do now). It's the (fictional) correspondence between an elder demon, Screwtape, and his protege nephew, Wormwood, wherein he extolls advice and guidance learned from years of experience tempting the human race. The entire book is absolutely phenomenal and a rude awakening for believers as it reveals very clever ways our enemy manipulates us. The following is, however, a beautiful description of faith and I feel like a nerd for tearing up at work over it:

"He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles. Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger, than when a human, no longer desiring, but intending, to do our Enemy’s will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."

Would that I journey through life's violent turbulence and frequent despair unable to quell the doubts and questions "and still obey".
