LETTING GO OF THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain

Life can be overwhelming when we try to make sense of everything. We often demand answers—why things happened, how they’ll turn out, or when relief will come. But the truth is, not everything in life comes with an explanation. Some questions will remain unanswered, and that’s okay.

God doesn’t promise to explain all things, but He does promise to be with us in all things. Faith isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about trusting the One who does. When we stop obsessing over the unknown, we make room for peace. We must learn to rest in the mystery, to let go of the burden of understanding, and simply hold on to Him.

Worrying doesn’t solve problems; it only drains us. Release the pressure to figure it all out. Some things are meant to be surrendered, not solved. Trust that God sees the full picture, even when we only see a piece.

“Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which

surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6–7 (NRSV)

Amen and To God Be The Glory!
