Before you look to God for the sunshine of his wisdom, get on your knees and give him your helplessness and failures. Offer the One who loves you your shame. And live a godly life. When reading, pray for inspiration. When questioning, pray for a stronger loyalty to God. When exploring earth’s wonders, pray for a greater appreciation of God’s mystery. When working, pray for grace. When studying, ask to be taught, above all things, how to love. And when you gain understanding, pray, “God keep me humble.” St. Bonaventure, Franciscan friar (1221–1274), from his philosophical work "The Soul’s Journey into God."
