“The Difference Between
Prayer and Meditation”
“Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14
There may be some misunderstanding about prayer and meditation, so let's
get a clearer understanding between the two.
First, both prayer and meditation go hand in hand. Prayer is when we come
to the Lord with our requests and meditation is when the Lord speaks to
us in our hearts. He knows that our minds are active and it is hard for us
to settle our thought, so this is why God says in Psalm 40:10, “Be still and
know that I AM God.” When we place ourselves in His presence by being still in meditation
that He speaks to us through the Holy Spirit to reveal to us the answers we seek and get
the guidance and direction we need to be in His safety and peace.
A favorite scripture that helps calm in troubling times states:
“Finally, brethren, Whatever things are noble, whatever things are just,
whatever things are pure, whatever things lovely, whatever things are of a
good report, if there is any virtue, and if anything praiseworthy, meditate
on these things.”
Philippians 4:8
My friend, remember to always come to the Lord in prayer for all your
requests, no matter how large or how small. Everything that concerns you,
your Father in heaven cares about. Listen to His voice speak to you and
read His Holy Word. Meditate on what He is whispering to you and receive
His peace. Your Father in heaven knows exactly what you need at all times
and the best way to help you, so always trust Him with all your heart.
