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.
