In his poem “The Answer,” Lowell Fillmore describes reaching the limits of human understanding and pausing “to give my weary brain a rest.” He writes: “In that still moment, after self had tried and failed, there came a glorious vision of God’s power, and, lo, my prayer was answered in that hour.”

I bless my intellect and give thanks for all the insights it has provided. At the same time, I accept the limits of intellectual understanding. The gifts of God, the apostle Paul tells us, must be spiritually discerned. In prayer I let God be God in me. I let go of intellectual understanding. I align my mind and heart with divine wisdom. I trust the infinite mind in me and allow it to guide my path.
