The prophet Habakkuk is an example of an this kind of unquenchable worshipper.
Though the fig-tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. (Habakkuk 3:17-18)Though the fire for the Lord in Habakkuk's heart was trying so hard to be extinguished by the events going on around Him, Habakkuk found rest in the Lord. The decision had been made in Habakkuk's heart to rejoice and praise God in all circumstances, even when his world seemed to be crumbling. He decided that he would choose to respond to God's worth no matter how bleak a season he found himself in.

I love that verse--it has been encouraging to me during many dry seasons.
