“Knowing” the future gets in the way of faith.

Maybe you’ve heard about John Kavanaugh’s conversation with Mother Teresa. The famous ethicist asked her to pray he would have clarity about how to spend the rest of his life. Her answer shocked him. “No, I will not do that. Clarity is the last thing you are clinging to and must let go of. I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you trust God.” Knowing short-circuits faith. No knowing forces you to rest in God’s care and that's a much better place to be.
