Do you talk out loud to yourself? It’s okay to admit it if you do. I’ll be the first to say, “I do!”
Recently, I heard someone say, “Talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence,” so I did what any intelligent person would do, I GOOGLED IT! Yep, that’s right, “Scientists at Bangor University in the UK found talking to yourself out loud is not only helpful but may indicate a higher level of intelligence.” (We’ll forget about that little “may” and go with it!) Now, who wants to be second?
Do you talk to things that cannot carry on a conversation with you? I do that, too! I talk to my dog, CallieMarie and I talk to the turtle at school. I’ve been tempted to pet the turtle, but resist because I’m a little afraid of him. I have a cockatiel named Spike that I talk to, and he actually talks back, usually repeating what I said to him! Some people talk to their plants. I don’t have any plants, but if I did, I would probably talk to them, too.
Do you talk to God throughout the day, or do you limit your conversation to only your prayer time? I love the fact that I can talk to God any time of the night or day. I rarely say amen after my prayers because there’s no end to our conversation.
Did you know God, Himself invites you to talk to Him?
-
Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 3:3
-
Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:12
-
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me. Psalm 50:15
Maybe it’s been a while since you’ve talked to God, and you’re not sure if He remembers you. I can assure you if you’re a child of God, one who has asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, He knows your name, and He is waiting to hear from you.
I talk to myself too, glad to know it means I’m intelligent! I also enjoy talking to the Lord throughout my day. Especially during times in my car. I’m glad He knows our name!

Deborah, thanks for reminding us we can feel good about our conversations with ourselves. When I walk in the early morning, I feel very comfortable with these conversations.
