Desire for one thing

A few hours on Sunday in a prayer room is not enough. He is worthy of exceedingly more. Life circumstances and the lack of a building are a reality that hinders me from the one thing I desire concerning the what I want to do with my life... To dwell in his house all the days of my life, to gaze on His beauty and seek him in His temple.  I do not resent my life circumstances, those being work, my wife and children. I simply know that the work portion can shift with time, a time which is not yet. With my present life circumstances in place there just simply isn't enough time to pursue the desire for one thing as my full time occupation. The closet/prayer room at home is my only hideaway to come close to this pursuit. In the meantime my circumstances is my ministry and I will do it to the best of my ability and serve as the Lord leads me.
I am confidence that the Lord fulfills the desire of our hearts , and that the desire I have is not something I conjured up in myself but a desire the Lord has placed on my heart. The desire for one thing cannot be manufactured because it is opposed to our the desire of the human heart in it's sinful nature. Apart from God drawing us, we cannot desire Him. We love Him because He first loved us.
For now I know there is not a prayer room going 24/7 in our city in the expression that I feel called to; but it will come. In that day I know the Lord will open the door for me to pursue the desire that he has given me in Psalm 27:4. Lord provide a building for Sanctuary House of Prayer. Release finances to have priests before you day and night.
