Prayer and Meditation - More than a subtle difference
To pray one communes in earnest to a Higher Power. Words are used and things are asked for.
We should have one expectation when we pray. Higher Power will be done. Never underestimate prayer. The unseen powers know what we need, even when we think we do. We have all prayed for something in earnest and found the need was only a want for the moment. Prayers are always acknowledged. Prayers never go unanswered, but first one must listen.
Meditation, one quiets internal and external noise and listens for the answers to prayers.
To meditate is not an easy task. To still the mind and tune out all the chatter can literally be impossible, but silence can be done.
One might find the hardest part of meditation is to be completely still, to release that personal dialogue in the mind and listen.
