@msrebeccablack Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation, the source of strength is one's self. When one prays, he goes to a source of strength greater than his own. 

If we know the divine art
of concentration, if we
know the divine art of
meditation, if we know
the divine art of
contemplation, easily and
consciously we can unite
the inner world and the
outer world.

Meditation is the tongue
of the soul and the
language of our spirit.
