I spent a lot of time praying, too, just not on the way to work. I would start when I woke, then continue as I did stuff around the house, showered, got dressed. When I came home, I prayed while I was preparing dinner and going through my evening, and lots of prayer before bed. I just found that singing those songs on my way to work put me in a different frame of mind than even the prayer did and somehow got me through my day. It was really a revelation to me. Sometimes when I would be praying in the shower, a new "old" praise song would pop into my head that I hadn't thought about for decades, and so I would start singing in the shower.
Since my troubles have ceased, so has my time singing praise songs in the car. Part of me tells myself I just don't have the energy for it. But I believe I had less energy when things were so bad. I do pray on the way to work now and just enjoy the quiet, but maybe I should vary that with the praise songs. Either way, I called out to God and He showed up.
