120. Sweetness

You know the feeling of when you're praying, and you don't want it to end?

Haven't had many recently. Most of the time after my alarm or the bell rings, I feel "Oh, it's about time", "Not bad", or "I should have concentrated more." When my spirituality is lower, I'd think, "Ah, so hard to pray, but I know I have to." 

Today, I felt some sweetness in prayer. A very sweet sweetness. Sweeter than honey from the comb you might say. It was quite different from the recently typical prayer where I would have a list of requests and may or may not feel the Holy Spirit interceding. It was a sweetness where I honestly felt, "I want to keep praying." 

Maybe it's because I needed comfort. After all, blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.
