Psalm 27:4

One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord (in His presence) all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty (the delightful loveliness and the majestic grandeur) of the Lord and to meditate in His temple.  

A close relationship with God increases our love of His presence.  When we pray and spend time in the presence of the Lord, we increase our strength and confidence.  The love of the Lord radiates from Him, reassuring us and giving us direction.  When we seek the Lord, we will find Him as when we open our hearts to Him.
