My Morning Prayer

A few weeks ago, the radio in my car broke. In case you don't know this about me, I'll tell you that I am in my car quite a bit! I commute to and from work, which can easily be two hours, and sometimes I commute during work. I've been listening to audio books and to the Bible on CD, which has been good and helps to pass the time. Well, I decided to do an experiment. I decided not to fix my radio, at least for now, and to use this time as a prayer time instead. I began feeling God's call to more prayer in my life about 6 months ago. I've been trying, but it just is so hard for me. It doesn't come naturally. So, when this radio thing came up, I saw it as my big opportunity to see what I'm really made of.
Wow what a time it's been! I can't lie though - it's been really rough at times! I get distracted easily and sometimes just don't know what to say to God. You see, I've grown up displaying my love by doing things. I do things for my family, do things for my friends, do things for the Lord. But is this enough? I don't think so. So I'm working on my relationship with the Lord in a much different way than I ever have before.
Here was my prayer this morning:

"Fill my cup, Lord, I lift it up, Lord
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul
Bread from heaven, feed me ‘till I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole"

and

"I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses

And He walks with me and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

He speaks and the sound of His voice is so sweet
The birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing

I stay in the garden with Him
Though the night all around me is falling
But He bids me go, through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling"
