Why do we feel the need to know everything?
There is a peculiar serenity in the spaces between what we know and what we don’t. We spend so much time chasing answers, yearning to know every detail, every outcome. We feel that we should know everything, even the things that are not in our control.
Perhaps it’s our way of grasping for control in a world that often feels chaotic. We think that knowing will shield us from the things that might hurt us — a hope that if we can predict and understand every aspect of life, we can protect ourselves from disappointment and pain.
By trying to grasp the ungraspable, we exhaust ourselves and miss the beauty of simply experiencing life as it comes. It’s okay not to have all the answers. It’s okay to wonder and dream about what could be, and to let the unknown be a source of hope rather than fear.
Because life is a world full of uncertainties. No one knows what will happen next, or what will become of the future. Life becomes less about having all the answers and more about cherishing the questions and the experiences that come with them.
In those moments of doubt and confusion, remember that not every answer needs to be found. Not every question needs a response. It’s okay to pause, to sit with the uncertainty, and let it unfold in its own time. Life has a way of revealing its secrets, but only when we are ready to listen.
There’s a peace in not knowing. It allows us to not need every answer in life. It invites us to trust in the process, to surrender to the flow of life’s currents, knowing that even in the absence of clarity, we are guided by Him — the Lord who will never fail us.
May you have the courage to let go of the need to control every aspect of your life. Embrace the mystery, and let it guide you to places you never imagined.
Sometimes, the most beautiful destinations are those we discover without a map.
