IOW is internet slang for "in other words." It occurred to me, as I was pray ing, that God and I have our own intimate, personal slang. I carry on a conversation with God, just as if he were my constant companion, all day. Well, He is. And this is my preferred prayer. I often pray formal prayers, e..i. Rosary. But I "yak" to Him all day. Even when doing Lectio Divina, I point out things and ask questions.
I'm comfortable with God and share my thoughts and heart with Him. Yes, He talks back. Not audibly, but I sense in my heart, i.e., feelings of consolation, a sense of trust, comfort. My thoughts shoot out to Him, like internet slang
I don't even need words.
Think of Jeremiah's conversation with God, "You will be in the right, O Lord, when I lay charges against you; but let me put my case to you." Jeremiah 12: 1. Even though He's God and knows what I'm going to say before I say, I reiterate it. It helps me, not Him. In this way, I find myself walking with God, all day. It makes me continuously conscious of Him.
