I'm pretty sure it's paul talking and he says something about how he doesn't really want to be on earth, but he's here because God is still using him and he's anxous to die but he'll stay or something like that...
what is it!?!

22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

I am in a Twixt between the Two.
To stay here is more beneficial for you, but to go Home to Heaven is FAR BETTER.
Everybody gets Tired at Times.
To Each his,her Own.
Walk Close Enough to GOD, and when you have had Enough (or Done Enough Hopefully) you and GOD can make a Decision on this Thing.

Philippians 1:.23-24 For I am hard- pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ,which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.
Hope this helps you, God bless you !

i think you're thinking about paul, who was put in jail because of his religion. he might have said he was ready to die (as in, ready to die for his religion), but that's not the same thing as being anxious to die. corinthians and thessalonians and those books are all of paul's letters to people telling them the joy he's found in god and how he wishes them the same.

actually there are several verses that paul is quoted asking for death and I don't know exactly which one you are looking for but maybe 1corinthian9:15 will help ,if not sorry!

Sorry, couldn't find it.
Are you sure there's something like this?
Because my search drew a blank.

he knew already what is life with GOD so he wanted to be with GOD.
