1 Corinthians 14:15-20New International Version (NIV)
15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding.16 Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? 17 You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.
18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
Dear Father, May I pray with my spirit. May I pray with understanding. My spirit sings and praised you Lord. I am thankful for you, Lord. Your Words of instruction help me to think more clearly. Thank you. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
