Let your tongue acquire the habit of saying, I do not know, so that you are not led to lie (Berachot 4a). We have to learn that we dont always know the answer, and that often enough we dont even know the meaning of the question being asked... Accepting our limitations enables us to humbly ask God for help as we walk by faith. The Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Rom. 8:26). We groan in hope... It is a blessedness to be free from the need to be seen, to approved by others, to feel like we always have to be right, to manage appearances, and so on. Gods Spirit (רוּחַ) rests upon the lowly, the humble of heart. Therefore humility (עֲנָוָה) is considered one of the greatest of middot ha-lev (heart qualities). As it is written, the high and lifted up One dwells with the broken and lowly of spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the crushed (Isa. 57:15).
