1 Corinthians 14:14-15

For if I pray in a tongue, my Spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive. Then what am I to do? I will pray with the Spirit (by the Holy Spirit that is within me) and I will pray with my mind (using words I understand); I will sing with the Spirit (by the Holy Spirit that is within me) and I will sing with the mind (using words I understand).

We want to be productive in prayer and pray prayers that are a blessing to others. We also want to tap into the Spirit and pray according to God’s word coming to our Spirit. When we pray with our minds, we must be specific in prayer based on scripture and find backing for our needs in the Bible.
