Bathed in His light

We attended the Toronto Temple yesterday. I awoke this morning feeling bathed in light. I feel like Moses must have felt after coming down from the mountain. I feel like I’ve been in the presence of God. Everything inside me is different. The light is so powerful and big. I can’t believe this is how I feel after I’ve been to the temple.
It happens every time I go there. I have to go often because it wears off after awhile.
There is a scripture I always think about in times like this, when I want that feeling and brilliant memory to stay with me. It says that this visitation I feel…endureth by diligence unto prayer.
Moro. 8: 26
26 And the remission of sins bringeth meekness, and lowliness of heart; and because of meekness and lowliness of heart cometh the visitation of the Holy Ghost, which Comforter filleth with hope and perfect love, which love endureth by diligence unto prayer, until the end shall come, when all the saints shall dwell with God.

I want so much for this feeling to never leave me. I want to always walk bathed in this light, and according to that scripture it endureth by diligence unto prayer.
If I am immersed in prayer, it doesn’t leave. But of course, the cares of the world will return and the light will fade. Sometimes very quickly. So that’s why I have to return to the temple often.
I really don’t think that monthly is enough.
