Thursday Prayer: Questions Without Answers

God, I have so many questions, and you have so few answers - at least the kind I'm looking for. I want explanations, timelines, reasons. You offer presence, faithfulness, grace. I'm learning that sometimes the answer to "why" is simply "trust me."

Help me rest in mystery without demanding certainty. Teach me to trust your character when I can't trace your hand. When confusion threatens my faith, anchor me in what I know about who you are. You're good, you're sovereign, you're loving - and sometimes that has to be enough. Tonight, I lay down my need to understand and pick up my willingness to trust. You don't owe me explanations, but you've given me your presence. That's better than answers.
