Oratio: In God’s Soil

May my feet
be firmly planted
in the soil
of God’s infinite being
unmoved by the ways
and wants
of the world
or the inward pull
of temptation’s
deadly whim
but unwavering in love
unrelentingly still
trusting
in God’s loving peace

~Robert Van Valkenburgh

How does remaining firmly rooted in God’s love and peace help us navigate the temptations and challenges of the world?
