For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

—Isaiah 55:8–9 (ESV)

“When Antony thought about the depth of God’s judgments, he asked, ‘Lord, how is it that some die when they are young, while others drag on to extreme old age? Why are there those who are poor and those who are rich? Why do wicked men prosper, and why are the just in need?’ He heard a voice answering him, “Antony, keep your attention on yourself; these things happen according to God’s judgment, and it is not to your advantage to know anything about them.’” —The Wisdom of the Desert Fathers and Mothers

Quiet the questions in my heart, O Lord, that keep me from being close to You.
