Talking to Myself as a Spiritual Practice

“Look up, Mona!”

That was me speaking. Yes, talking to myself. Wasn’t the first time. Wasn’t the last.

Here’s some grace for me. For you too, if you talk to yourself.

According to Scripture, I’m in good company. At least that’s true when I’m talking to my soul. The Psalmists, whether it was David or the Sons of Korah, made it a habit to converse with their soul. To remind themselves of God’s goodness
