>>7410712>>7410759The experience of the Spirit is something that, for me at least, comes only rarely. Most prayers I say don't end with an amazing spiritual experience, but I take comfort in the prayer itself, in depending on God for strength, and in turning my mind towards the example of Christ as I seek answers to my problems and the ability to resist temptation.
I won't deny, however, that experience of God or of His Spirit exists. If you're interested in the more mystical side of things you could read The Cloud of Unknowing for a (admittedly Catholic-based) approach to experiencing God through prayer. As someone not of the Catholic faith myself I've found it inspiring.
