Commitments, not feelings, are how we show our love. David Brooks defines a commitment as “falling in love with something [or someone] and then building a structure of behavior around it for those moments when love falters.”25 Jesus was getting at the same thing when he invited us to take on his “easy yoke.”26 And that’s all a daily prayer rhythm is—a structure to support our deepest desires, even when our feelings and emotions betray us.
