Trust Beyond Understanding

ALMIGHTY GOD, be pleased of Thy Spirit so to order our knowledge of Thee, that every duty and pleasure of our life, all suffering and sinning, all hope and trembling, may but lead us more and more to a perfect faith and trust in Thee; that understanding what we may understand, and doing that which we do know, we may with a quiet heart leave the deep things of God unsounded. Enough for us to see that what is holiest is best; and that the holiest and best that we can see in man is but the light that comes from Thee, the perfect source of love and good. Guide us in this our course, and give us an entrance into a still higher, diviner, nobler life. We ask it through Jesus Christ our Lord.—AMEN.
