The "I Don't Know" Prayer

February 08, 2024

“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God.”  Psalm 42:5-6

 

Did you know there’s a prayer called the “I Don’t Know” prayer? It’s “very spiritual”. You just go off somewhere quiet and hidden and you walk right up to the heart of God, and you say, “I don’t know.”

I don’t know where to go from here. I don’t know what is happening. I don’t know how to process this. I don’t know why You are doing this. I don’t know why they are acting like this. I don’t know why my soul is downcast. I don’t know what to do with these emotions. I don’t know how to handle this situation.

It covers a lot of I don’t knows.

And then with whatever dusty little sand grain of faith you have, you say, “But You know.”

And in doing so, you cast all your cares upon God, because He cares about you.
