Man getting up earlier to spend time in prayer

Since I began living for Christ three and a half years ago, I have always been convicted of spending more disciplined time in the Word, in prayer, and resting in God, but I never really could convince myself to put him first, in the morning (very early in the morning if need be.) That is until I heard your message last week.
How can I attend to my earthly body, if I do not attend to my spiritual nourishment first. This made so much sense to me. So I have been getting up an extra hour earlier and driving to work one and a half hours earlier to not only sit and read and pray, but to begin my work day earlier to serve my coworkers. It has been a little more tiring, but the spiritual nourishment and joy and discipline I am experiencing far surpass the thirty minutes to one hour of sleep I lose each night. That's why God gave us a sabbath. Additionally, I save thirty minutes in drive time because of I-77 North traffic.
Thank you!
