The Quality of Understanding
Understanding is the capacity to experience the wisdom and knowledge we have inside us, and move beyond an emotional reaction to events into making correct, reasonable, and meaningful decisions. With Understanding, we seek to comprehend our experience, to bring ‘all we know’ to situations and events, and learn to act with both compassion and intelligence. Understanding forms the basis for our accomplishments in life and the expression of our accumulated wisdom.
These are the core aspects of Understanding:
- Moving beyond my emotional reactions to events and people
- Finding my own inner wisdom
- Finding meaning in all that I do
- Finding the right balance between compassion and intelligence
- Developing my capacity to understand the world
- Using my head as well as my hearty
- Trusting my knowledge and intelligence
Prayers of Understanding
God of My Heart, help me to awaken Understanding
for myself and others today. Help me to see what I need to do in each
situation, so that my acts are appropriate. Help me to hear what is being
said, so that I may speak with compassion. Help me to understand the power
of my words and actions, so that I may touch others' lives in a positive
and healing manner.
Amen
God of My Heart, help
me to give the gift of Understanding today to someone
who needs it. Help me to see what they feel they must hide; hear what
they cannot say; and to speak the words that are most healing and supportive.
Amen
