God of knowledge and insight,
In this day and age when we have access to what seems to be unlimited information, it can be tempting to believe that we also have access to unlimited understanding and comprehension. And yet, Goethe’s words from the past still ring true. He cautioned us that “doubt grows with knowledge.” What most scholars, and even experts find, is that the more we know, the less we have to be certain about.
O God, in our search for answers and meaning, may you help us find the right questions to ask and may we always find joy in the journey of intellectual discovery. May this be God’s will.—AMEN.
