Lord Knows Why

Finding Peace When Answers Are Out of Reach

We often spend our nights retracing our steps, trying to pinpoint exactly where things changed. We look for a reason behind the sudden storms, yet we often come up empty-handed. In those seasons of confusion, we have to lean on the quiet realization that the Lord knows why. It’s human nature to want a roadmap, but faith is walking when the path is foggy. When your heart is heavy with questions about the future, remember that you don’t have to carry the burden of understanding; the Lord knows why every door closed and why every new path opened. We might feel lost in the “in-between,” but there is no such thing as being lost to God. Even when life feels like a series of disconnected events, the Lord knows why each piece of the puzzle is being placed exactly where it is. You may not see the full picture today, but rest assured, the Lord knows why your journey has taken this specific turn. Surrendering your need for an explanation is the highest form of trust. You can find a unique kind of rest in the middle of the mystery, simply because the Lord knows why. Stop exhausting yourself trying to solve the unsolvable. Lift your eyes, breathe out your worries, and find comfort in the truth that the Lord knows why.
