When praying mentally, do some of you also pray in a different language, and not using your native language? This question might mostly apply to those who are non-English speaker, however, I would be extra curious in knowing if native-English speaker do pray mentally using a foreign language that they know very well...
My native language is Dutch, but in my head, when I pray, my English seems to flow better. I suppose it's a preference I have now, to pray in English. Although I must confess that occasionally I do pray in Dutch, but lately it's been English for say 90% of the time. And in the last couple or so days it's been English only, and I intent to keep it that way. As I also prefer to read the bible in English most of the time. Not that I am neglecting my Dutch, however...
