A Prayer for the Thoughtful

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me a mind to think and so many mysteries to ponder. I must admit that sometimes it's frustrating to find a balance between understanding and faith, especially because it's hard for me to accept that you want me to believe stuff that just doesn't make sense or goes against what my heart tells me is right. Did you create our minds for us to abandon them in the name of faith and in deference to you? If I'm really created in your image, should we be that far apart?

Help me as I seek to understand you, myself, and this world, and help me as I seek to live a faithful life of service.

Amen.
