Ibn Al Qayyim writes...
"....It is possible that a person has a need for something, so he earnestly prays and
requests Allah for it, until the sweetness of asking and imploring Allah is opened for him. So
he enjoys being humbled before Him, and trying to draw closer to Him, using His Names
and Attributes, and his heart becomes void of everything besides Him, and he cuts off any relationship or hope for good from anyone else - all of which would never have occured had it not been for his need, so it is possible that what good has come about because of this state of his is even greater, and more pleasing to him, than the actual need (that was the cause of such state) to such an extent that he wishes to continue in this state, and prefers it over the actual fulfillment of his need. So his happiness due to this state is greater than the happiness he would achieve has his need actually been fulfilled. Some of those that have recognised (the sign of Allah) have stated: "Sometimes, I have a certain need (that I wish to ask), so I ask Him earnestly. Then I find that the door of dialogue opens up for me, and i recognise Allah more (become more aware of Him), and feel humbled before Him, due to which I prefer that the answer to my prayer be delayed, so that this state may continue..."
Wasalam
O Allah let our last days be the best days of our life, and our last deeds be the best of our deeds, and let the best day be the day we meet you.

Re: Spiritual Ecstasy
"Truly in the heart there is a void that cannot be removed except with the company of Allah.
And in it there is a sadness that cannot be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him.
And in it there is an emptiness that cannot be filled except
with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him
And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it
would not fill this emptiness."
- Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya

Asalaamu Alaikum sis,
Jazakallahu Kheyr sis.
And seek help in patience and prayer [ Al-Baqarah 2:45]
And speak good to people [Al-Baqarah 2:83]
And take provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is al-taqwa( piety, righteousness) [ Al-Baqarah 2:197]
And whenever you give your word, say the truth [Al-Ana'aam 6:152]
