I do believe that human "focus" can change reality.
In the bible we can read Psalm 82:6...
I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
John 10:34 ...Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods"’?
That does not mean we are the same as God. It only means that we have the ability to create.
The earth was created by God.
The world was created by Man.
What we focus on really becomes reality.
In Genesis 11 you can read about the Tower of Babel.
In verse 6 God says
6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
That's why we are called to pray. Prayer has us focus in the right direction.
Even we really have no idea how important Prayer really is.
Praying is choosing from the infinite possibilities open to you. Jesus said give thanks. Not ask or beg and plead. Ask and it’s given. Just give thanks, it is already yours. So not ‘please make me healthy’ but ‘thank you I am healthy’. It is claiming what you already possess, which is everything. Like choosing from a catalog, you choose from the quantum field of infinite possibilities and persist in the belief that it is already yours until the wave hardens into particle and matter.
I believe that God is real. There is no question about that.
From that point of view I cannot see prayer and mediation as the same thing.
Meditation is about seeking that calm within or something akin to that. looking for the positive and living in that.
Prayer is not about self it is about seeking God.
I realize that many people "pray" and it is the same as meditation.
The problem is we are lost and do not know the right path. God has called us to seek Him and the path will become clear to see.
So for me prayer is not so much about trying to get things. It is more about the connection to God. I am seeking His will. I honestly believe that His will is the best for me even if at the time I do not understand it or even want it.
When we seek His will this world will change. It will line up with true reality.
