all night of prayer

There really is this thought...
"I never want to leave Your presence."

I often say that to Him before I end my devotions time with Him.
And He simply replies me with an
"I will never leave you nor forsake you."

Yet the joy and incredible feeling of being in prayer with Him makes me so speechlessly happy and blissful.

When I decided to go to the all night of prayer event, I thought to myself,
"Surely, that thought of never wanting to leave His presence won't be on my mind at 6 in the morning."
But it did come to mind, and it did dominate my thoughts at 6 A.M.

And I told Him that.
I told Him, "I don't want to stop praying. I don't ever want to leave Your presence."
And I realized...
that even if I spend my whole life in prayer,
I would never get enough of it, and I would never grow sick of it.

Even if I spend every breath that I have, praising His name and beholding His glory,
I would always leave, saying, "I don't want this to end."

Oh how I love the thought of spending eternity with Him!
Oh that day when I see His face and know that it will never end...
Oh how truly loving He is in every second of my life.

"I never want to leave Your presence."
