HELLO FRIEND. For me Prayer is a means that some of us use, in order that God hears our "prayers", "supplications", "requests", praises or anything else we want to share with
The .... But you need another means that is neither less nor more important than this, inclusive, I would say that it is a complement to prayer ....... meditation.
In prayer, God listens to us and in meditation, we listen to God. "Praying without meditation is like when we bathe and do not use soap." BLESSINGS FRIEND
