What a cool experience Phil.

This is probably going to sound strange to you guys.  But one experience I 
recently had was on a day I was feeling just exhausted. I knew I needed to 
pray and just spend time in God's word.  I turned off all outside 
distraction including electronic devices and sat down to pray intending to 
talk to God.  I never said a word.  I just sat before God and he did 
whatever God does.  I knew in my spirit that I had prayed and heard from God 
as I was refreshed.  He knew the intent of my heart and state of mind. 
Later when I did give voice to my prayer I was praying in the spirit.  It 
was a very unique experience.
