Lord God, above heaven and earth, Your knowledge and understanding is perplexing. It brings to mind questions that I don't ask. I'm embarrassed by my lack of understanding. You have brought me to this point of understanding not because I've asked, but because this is where You wanted me to be. If only I could be more like Solomon. he faced You and asked You for what matters most. He asked for wisdom and understanding. He wanted to be able to guide Your people Israel to You, to keep Your commandments and statutes. Lord, my fear of admittance prevents me from being so bold, so often. Humble me, Lord. Drop me to my knees! Cripple me! Make me admit that I have nothing outside of You. Your Word constantly tells me so, so force me to act upon it. You brought Your disciples to that point of asking of You all Your mysteries; why can't You do that for me? Or why am I unwilling to step down from my high place?

Father, You are great. I know nothing outside of You. I don't need my life to be easy, but I do need You to help me through it. I am at Your mercy to learn what it is You would want to teach me. Teach it that I may learn it. May my heart be in it full steam ahead. And may all the glory go to You; not one iota of credit goes to me. And thank You for paying for school. I know it would be worked out, though I had my doubts at times. Thank You, God
