WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE
(1 Corinthians 14:14 KJV)
“For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful”.
What do you do when you do not know what to think anymore? What do you do when you don’t understand what is going on in your life and around you? There are times like that when your mind seems to be underperforming, when your brain seems to have jammed. The pressures of life can come so much on you to the point where you just come to a standstill, not knowing what next to do nor where to go.
It is in such times that you turn to your prayer language, because it is specifically designed for moments like that amongst others; it is a good time to connect to the Holy Spirit by praying in tongues. Especially when there is a task to be done at that time, and you probably have a deadline to meet, tongues will assist you to calm down, and gather your thoughts gradually.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit does even better under such conditions, because we do not understand what we speak, it is our spirit praying at such times, and God who understands the mind of the spirit will begin to put you back on track.
How does this work? When in confusion, when in a state of disarray or in trouble, do the following;
i. Separate yourself into a very quiet place. You must find a place of minimal distractions, (Jesus called it a closet).
ii. Put on a cool worship music, such as you love very much; or something new. It will calm your nerves a little.
iii. Begin to mutter words of thanksgiving for anything at all.
iv. Then begin to pray in tongues for as long as it is necessary. Try not to be too aware of your environment as you do this. Sooner or later, God thoughts and ideas will begin to sip through to your mind. Then Peace will flood your soul, direction will come and you will have clarity of thoughts.
Receive grace today in Jesus Name.
Action Points
