Dear Lady. Ann:
I know I sent a letter earlier on. After the prayer session we just had, I felt that I should talk to you privately. I pray a lot in tongues, it started a long time ago when I was still in high school, I did not understand it then. Each time I went for fellowship, my mouth just started to utter things that I did not understand and I would keep quiet to try and stop it. In the process of growing up there has been a lot of challenges, I did not have proper guidance to grow and understand spiritual things, so I went astray until around 2016 when the attack from the enemy became intense both spiritually and physically. By the grace of God, His hand was upon me, He sent someone who helped to draw me into the Word and prayer and since then God is doing a great work in me.
Now that I have come to understand what salvation is and I started taking my walk with Christ seriously, I pray a lot but each time I am praying 90% of my prayers is in tongues. I know it is a good thing and I thank God for that. Although sometimes there are things I feel I want to hear myself mention audibly but I fail even when I force myself, and later I wonder if I have prayed about them, especially when I don’t see the answer. For example today like many other times when we are praying, when you tell us to say some words I find myself still speaking in tongues. Do you think this an issue I should be concerned about. I must also mention that if I am leading prayer with other people I am able to speak audibly most of the time. The constant speaking in tongues often happens when I am alone Praying or when I set out sing worship songs. Each time I start worshiping immediately I start speaking in tongues too. Should I continue or there is a way I can alternate it. Thanks in advance for your guidance.
