A Prayer for Thursday, September 25, 2014

Ignorance

O God,

Give us grace to accept that there is a lot we don’t know
and that there will always be a lot that we don’t know.

Thank you that we know more than we used to know.
Thank you that we can constantly be learning more.
Thank you that we don’t have to accept our ignorance
and that we can always be growing in knowledge.

Never let us be content in our ignorance;
never let us be proud of our ignorance.

Give us grace to accept our limitations
even as we strive to overcome them.
Give us grace to accept mystery
even as we try to understand it.
Give us grace never to accept ignorance
but always to be eager to learn.

Amen.
