Please welcome, Crystal, to Hiking Toward Home today!
Crystal blogs at 2bCrystalClear. I have known her for almost twenty years. We have hiked together over mountains and through valleys, both spiritual and literal. She is a faithful friend and a faith-full friend, ever ready to encourage with the Word. Her love for Christ shines bright. She loves coffee and my kids almost as much as I do, what more could I ask for? I am thankful for her friendship, her constant encouragement, and that she is willing to share about prayer in my space today…

I sit before God with a heart full of prayer, just as the clouds this morning are full of rain…I witness the majesty of God all around me. A blinding flash of lightning, followed by thunder literally shaking the house with its powerful rumblings…..I am momentarily struck through with reverent fear and immediately think of Psalms 97.
I believe God used his creation this morning to pull back the curtain and allow me to know in small measure the awesome power that eminates from his throne in heaven in all power and majesty.
With the Holy Spirit being present always in the believer, I also believe there are times we experience a much greater manifestation of the fullness of his presence….as much as this temporal body can stand.
I want to live in that manifest presence everyday, I believe prayer brings us closer in, if you will. As we live out the priesthood given to every believer when the veil was rent from top to bottom……this is the access we were given to enter the holy of holies and as an individual approaching unto God…..into his presence, into his throne room to bring our golden censer full of incense (prayer) to him directly.
This is what he desires us to enter into with him, will you come to his feet this morning and bow before him? as the angels and hosts of heaven already do!
~~~~~~~~What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer!~~~~~~~~
Thank you Crystal for guest posting today!
