"2559 "Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." But when we pray, do we speak from the height of our pride and will, or "out of the depths" of a humble and contrite heart? He who humbles himself will be exalted; humility is the foundation of prayer, Only when we humbly acknowledge that "we do not know how to pray as we ought," are we ready to receive freely the gift of prayer. "Man is a beggar before God."
2565 In the New Covenant, prayer is the living relationship of the children of God with their Father who is good beyond measure, with his Son Jesus Christ and with the Holy Spirit. The grace of the Kingdom is "the union of the entire holy and royal Trinity . . . with the whole human spirit." Thus, the life of prayer is the habit of being in the presence of the thrice-holy God and in communion with him. This communion of life is always possible because, through Baptism, we have already been united with Christ. Prayer is Christian insofar as it is communion with Christ and extends throughout the Church, which is his Body. Its dimensions are those of Christ's love."

it really is in truth actual that some mainstream scientists are leaning extra in the direction of a author. that doesn't push aside the vast Bang or evolution. the conception of a author does not extremely conflict with the vast Bang. both concepts can artwork mutually in complete cohesion. Even those that do not position self belief in a author, yet in ordinary words contained in the vast Bang and evolution nevertheless can not supply any solutions to the position the 4 unique atoms got here from. Nor, are we in a position to develop into conscious of the 4 thoroughly. We nevertheless do not understand what darkish remember is or if it even exists. the conception of darkish remember continues to be in debate. as well, purely because a million guy makes a declare about the origins of existence, does not advise this is actual. it is the argument many non believers of religion throw at those that DO trust, even with the undeniable fact that, the argument is incorrect. purely because one is a scientist and makes the declare about the beginning of existence, does not advise they're precise, both. in my view, i encounter those on both facet which could argue as if they're precise, is extremely conceited and down precise stupid. no individual knows or has the solutions. we are all guessing. It makes extra problem-free experience to me to have an open ideas and rejoice with ALL opportunities, and in no way push aside one concept over yet another in accordance by your self prejudices.

I pray to my Creator. Meditation is not in my life. I have no patience for it. If GOD can't hear or help me with prayer, then I guess I'm not worthy of being helped. I believe in HIM and do my best to do all HE asks of me. That's the answer for me..........

I believe that to be true, but I also believe prayer is calming our soul or spirit,and mediation is calming our physical bodies. My creator speaks to me all the time,sometimes even through other people. We just have to listen.

I believe prayer and mediation are one and the same. You go to a quiet place inside you and find peace.

Instead of splitting hairs, lets just agree that prayer and meditation are communications with God.

Prayer is are Avenue to the Creator As th e Quran Says:interpretation of the meaning-[9.71] And (as for) the believing men and the believing women, they are guardians of each other; they enjoin good and forbid evil and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and obey Allah and His Apostle; (as for) these, Allah will show mercy to them; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Prayer is for Are benefit if we do not pray it is against are own souls.
[13.22] And those who are constant, seeking the pleasure of their Lord, and keep up prayer and spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them secretly and openly and repel evil with good; as for those, they shall have the (happy) issue of the abode
35.18] And a burdened soul cannot bear the burden of another and if one weighed down by burden should cry for (another to carry) its burden, not aught of it shall be carried, even though he be near of kin. You warn only those who fear their Lord in secret and keep up prayer; and whoever purifies himself, he purifies himself only for (the good of) his own soul; and to Allah is the eventual coming.
Prayer Releases us of are burdens to talk to the one who created is whats sustains us. Allah Talks to us though his word and His Prophets to who He sent. And we are told in Al Quran to meditate what Allah has Created in the Earth and Our life and actions.

I think medication is the answer your lookin' for.
T´ain´t no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T´ain´t no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me

Not if done properly, prayer is a form of meditation.
