Nothing Matters (And That’s a Good Thing!)

Chasing Knowledge Doesn’t Save Us

Ecclesiastes 1:18

“For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.”

What the Teacher Observes

Learning, thinking, and understanding more doesn’t always bring peace. Sometimes it makes us more aware of what’s broken.

Why It Feels Heavy

We’re taught that answers will fix us — more information, more research, more insight. But knowledge alone cannot heal the heart.

Where God Restores Meaning

God never intended wisdom to replace dependence on Him. Knowledge is helpful, but it must be held with humility. Peace comes not from knowing everything, but from trusting God with what we don’t.

Gentle Practice

Give your mind permission to rest today.

You don’t need to solve everything.

Prayer

Lord, quiet my thoughts. Teach me when to seek wisdom and when to simply trust You. Amen.
