Very interesting! Reminds me of how in screenwriting we have the idea of deep and more long term Need versus a more surface and short term Desire.

Good screen characters usually have both Need and Desire and they are in strong opposition - the satisfying of one means the denial of the other.

Seems to me the Need to be closer to God as you describe it is our deepest Need of all.

It’s the human condition - even Paul had Desires which put him into conflict with that Need. He talks about it in Romans 7:15-20.
