iPod® Prayers
Though my family has them, I am a newcomer to music gadgets. My husband enjoys his. Sometimes, he puts it in my ear so I can share the song.
You might be surprised at the wonderful music he programmed for me. There are few genres of music I do not like. I have three play lists – Worship, Workout and On the Go. I do not use it everyday because I love the morning, but, occasionally, I put in my earplugs after I tie my shoes.
This morning, I set it for shuffle. First song – a nice guitar melody and I talk to God about all my issues. Next, comes a classical piece. I pray for my friends, one of them has a birthday today. Then, the first folk song I taught my daughter. I pray for her and her husband. Another guitar song – (remember who programmed my song list) I pray for the current situation in our country. A fantastic worship song comes – “I am a friend of God…” I sing. Then, it is a love song popular in the ’70s. I thank God for my husband and how we just grew up together. I pray for all the things he will face today. I am rounding the corner for the last half mile. It is another worship song. I raise my hands because there is no one else on the street. Tears are in my eyes as I sing. “Glorify your name….” The last song is a stirring popular group”…it’s a beautiful day.”
I prayed through every song and finished my walk just as the sun is peeking out.
“Oh God, You are my God:
Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless you while I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.”
Psalm 63:1, 3-4.
