Spiritual duty or delight?

It's hard to be spiritual when one is aware of a long list of tasks waiting to be tackled. Taking time out for leisure is perfectly acceptable and easy to do - I can switch into 'leisure' mode at the drop of a hat. Taking time out for God is far more important but less easy. So far this week I am managing to keep to my resolution of '10 minutes on my knees', but these times have been a duty rather than a delight. Deep down, I'd like to be the sort of person who takes so much pleasure in my relationship with Jesus that I become more eager to pray than to potter on the computer. Right at this moment I'm doing both... Lord, in everything I do today be my companion. May your presence enrich my every moment.
