I was here at Samoacana, I don’t know, New York. I spoke 3 times to the people, my head still afflicted, when almost discouraged, thinking I must give up the future appointments. When I knelt to pray, suddenly the glory of the Lord shone round about me. The whole room seemed to be filled with the presence of God. I was happy, so happy. I did not sleep scarcely any of that night because of the gladness of heart and the peace and comfort from the Lord which passeth all knowledge.

The point
Ellen White describes a moment when God's presence filled her room, making her so happy she couldn't sleep. It illustrates that joy and healing come from being in God's presence.
