I used to think that, too.
I used to say, "Man. Really? Praising and worshiping for all eternity?" But, then I entered into a true love and worship relationship with Him and it's not that bad. It's actually amazing and awesome! Here's why:
Think about our relationship with Christ now. He talks with us and He even jokes with us and He guides us and teaches us and He delights in us and we, in turn worship Him and talk with Him and on some days, joke with Him and receive from Him. So, in heaven, do we really think we're suddenly going from a two-way relationship to just worship day and night with no relationship at all? Of course not!
There will be worship (and lots of it) because, truly, how could there not be? When you consider the fact that the mere breath of God on this earth is so exciting and life changing and amazing, think of the difference when we're there, before Him, facing this amazing Creator, this wonderful Savior, feeling His embrace truly and fully, seeing the smile we've only felt Him bestow upon us all these years. I could go on and on and on.
There are times when I still journey into that place of thought that you had and I wonder at the state of my heart. The thing is, we're on earth, a place filled with countless distractions and things that keep us busy. We think, "There is too much going on for me to worship God today. A quick prayer and then off to a movie." In heaven, it won't be that way. Our flesh will be gone. It will no longer be a battle between spirit and soul and flesh. It will be simple and amazing. God is always good. Being there, streets paved with gold, mansions and feasts, and, oh man, seeing Jesus face to face...wow. Just wow.
I have also heard that we will have 'jobs' in heaven, things to do. God wouldn't want us idle. I don't know where in the Bible this is or where I've heard it, but it rings true. God would have us engaged with Him as He has us engaged with Him now. Creating and singing and moving and growing and knowing.
As I was writing these things, I thought, "This world is essentially practice. We learn what a relationship with Christ is supposed to be, we see how our cursed and sinful selves make the relationship, and then, in heaven, we will fully realize and see the relationship as it should be." It is practice, but vital practice, as we must be about the Lord's will and work and purpose, and not about the fleshly things that easily draw us away.
I hope I helped a little. I guess, summary time, that I'm saying it is totally normal to feel that way. I think most of us have. Just don't let it lead you away from Him. Seek Him fully.
