Trying to bring Nothing and Everything to times of prayer

I am engaged in an online discussion in a class called Images of God. In this discussion we talked about how we constantly try to do prayer instead of being prayer.
The insight that came to me was that I often approach my times with God like a business meeting. I have an agenda, a schedule, and a list of things I want to cover. It really struck me that I was missing the whole point of prayer, which is to be in conversation.
Conversation implies a dialogue and presence. In my time among the Friends God has taught me how to listen. To put away my schedule and lists and agenda and just stop, quiet my mind and listen.
I am finding that I am not having a set time of listening, but that being present to God is seeping into my daily routines. And God's presence is seeping into my awareness because I am listening and looking for it. Instead of an empty daily "Business Meeting" I am finding a relationship that happens naturally, with its own rhythms. Instead of making time for God, I am beginning to enjoy life with God as a regular, but not yet constant companion.
Daily times with God have transformed from a chore to having a friend show up to chat.
I still have some structured times with God, but the focus has changed. Instead of trying to follow my agenda I try to come before God with nothing, holding everything out to the light of Christ's presence to be changed. When I am able to do this, any reading that I am led to and any prayer that comes from me is a response to the grace God is showing by being present to me.
