When you read words don't you speak them in your mind also? Don't you hear them as if you were speaking them out loud?
Matthew 5:27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
If imagining sin in our heart is the same as if we had committed it why should a prayer in our heart be any less powerful than confessing it in front of a full church?
I think you are right in this. If we only receive peace after we speak what we know and believe, what of the Helen Kellers of the world. Peace is internalized in the heart. Circumcision is of the heart.
