Prayer is definitely what makes our days shine,
Submitting ourselves wholly makes us feel fine.
But prayer should be supported by due action,
Fully integrating both prayer and action,
Letting go of our sense of control prayerfully,
Cooperating with God’s work fervently.
If we simply pray but don’t act justly,
Our faith won’t bear fruit ultimately.
More harm will result without contemplation,
And less good, even with well-intended actions.
Therefore, action should follow prayer,
For blessings to blissfully shower.
In today’s religious, environmental,
And climate political,
Giving rise to unexpected upheavals,
Our complete surrender to the Lord is vital.
Listening to our hearts’ longings is vital,
Before thinking of healing global.
Each of us should resort to productivity,
Be it insignificant initially,
And if then we implore to the Almighty,
Mercy will rain on us ultimately.
If we use the Lord’s gift of human intelligence
Trying hard will certainly lead to deliverance.
A contemplative, faith- centred work which recommends human initiative too.
