I think in words. My own voice. How do people who were born deaf and have never heard a spoken word think?

They most likely think in pictures, complemented by memories and experiences of smells and touches.

(BUT - if a person is born deaf, and they could not be helped by a hearing aid, they could get a Cochlear implant to go inside their cochlea and get hearing that way, best if implanted as early as possible)

Speaking and thinking are two separate concepts. A person uses all their senses when thinking. They form thought through touching, seeing, tasting, hearing and smelling. Because one of the senses is missing, they rely on their other senses to interpret things. Thought is the process used to understand or figure out what the senses are telling them.

good question, and if they do not learn to write??? and how does such a one get to know God?? Meditate and it will come to you, meditate on God of love and it will envelope you, then it will be a real bummer to have to return here and think words huh

It is falsehood when you say, "I have heard so," while it is truth when you say, "I have seen."
