Context: On Sunday, by way of response to Water4life, I invited people to take a stone and to carry it in their pockets for a week. And to use it to remind them to pray for people feeling dry. Today, Adrian wrote this prayer poem, and I asked him if it could be shared.
I don't want to live on eloquent prayers alone
Or dine on fine spiritual etiquette
Or feast on the knowledge of men
Satisfied with my own pretentious plate of wisdom
Nor do I want to gorge myself with mere information on the Almighty
Or be made plump on the praise of others
Or be spoon-fed a palatable gospel
To avoid any unsavoury indigestion
I don't want to live on eloquent prayers alone
Living out my days
Filled with a kind of contentment
Reserved for the spiritually malnourished
Give me sustenance! Give me Life!
