Is The Holy Spirit Alive And Well?

I was at my youth group tonight and we typically before starting the lesson spend like a minute or so quieting ourselves before the Lord, listening and meditating on Him.

How amazing it is to be in a room of youth between like 14 and 20 and everyone is silent with their eyes close (well I am assuming their eyes are closed I did not check) meditating upon the things of God and quieting themselves in his presence. It is truly precious and I do cherish those times.

But now to get to my point. As I was saying tonight I was meditating and just praying to God silently really just thinking it. God you are here… actually now that I think about it I quieted myself after a nice long day at work as well as everything else that day and God spoke that to me. The Holy Spirit whispered I am here always just be silent and you will feel me. And I did feel him. It is so awesome to feel the spirit and to really know that He is there.

And it was brought to my remembrance how when my youth pastor was teaching like 1st and 2nd graders about the silent prayer and after the timer went off (because they where going for something like 5 minutes) He would ask the kids if they could feel the Holy spirit and they would all shake their heads yes and tell him about it. It is sooo precious!

I love silent prayer, it reminds one of all that is truly important, Jesus. It brings things back into focus sooo quickly. awwww
