A Quiet Prayer

I was spending time in prayer today and it occurred to me that I miss being able to spend time alone with God. All I said was a quiet prayer and it was amazing the peace that came over me when I spent time completely devoted to being with God. It was as if I was struggling across a desert and I didn't realize that I was thirsty until I found an oasis and took a sip of water. Sometimes it is hard to spend time alone with God, but we become hardened to the daily routines of life. I forgot how amazing the presence of God is and how personal I take my relationship with Him. Sometimes it takes a sip of water to realize that we were thirsty in the first place.
