Is there depth to the prayers you pray?
Is there weight to the words that you say?
Is there mercy in the way that you love?
Is there grace in the way that you serve?
How effortless it is, from day to day,
Through the humdrum of ordinary ways,
Swimming through the daily motion
With little to no thought or emotion.
No, it isn’t purposeless or mundane
To pray, love, and serve without any gains.
But perhaps deeper meaning can be found,
If we let our pensive roots plunge into the ground —
To source for fresher waters still,
To not just do and say, but to actually feel.
Where mindless doing and thoughtless thinking cease,
To go wild and free before we finally decease.
So let’s not love on empty,
But to pray and serve with empathy.
To find our words surged with burning power
That emboldens, encourages, and empowers.
