Why do we say, "Plumb the depths," when trying to get to the bottom of things? Because we have to go through a lot of yuck to get to the bottom. Prayer is a way of moving to the depths of the heart, heart love, our true center. But to get there, I have to go through a lot of mess that developed over a lifetime of bad behavior, bad habits, and bad attitudes. So I plumb the depths in my prayer life. Prayer, then, will not always be a feel good experience. But below the gunk, the mess, the character defects, is the place of peace and contentment. Transformation, recovery, interior growth is not always about feeling good. If it were, more people would be doing it. We have a lot of "I used to..." people. They gave up and missed the miracle.
