A Prayer for Monday, August 13, 2012

Curiosity

O God,

Cause us to want to know, not so much because knowledge increases our power but more because knowledge increases our ability to love and to help.

Cause us to want to know all that we can about the world in which we live so we can protect and develop it as good stewards.

Cause us to want to know all that we can about wisdom that has been accumulated so we can apply it in the development of our own wisdom.

Cause us to want to know all that we can about the people we encounter so that we can know and love them for who they really are.

In all cases, cause our curiosity to be motivated and to be acted upon in ways that are positive and not negative, creative and not destructive, helpful and not hurtful, and cooperative and not manipulative.

Amen.
