How is Meditation different from Prayer?
Meditation is a form of prayer. Maybe other prayer formats could differ from the meditative silence by their intentions; – we put before God issues that are on our mind, seeking solutions, understanding, or a fulfillment of some hope or desire, be it for ourselves or for others. They’re statements of our wish to bring something to the attention of God for what we hope will be a favorable action on God’s part, according to our standards. Yet, if after we way to God what is on our mind, it still becomes meditation if we than fall silent and await God’s presence and/or response, if we can accept the idea of letting God react according to His will for what is best, in place of our own.
