       Remember, the sole reason for our existence on this earth is to practice our relationship with God. That is, it is to simply spend time with God. Technically, nothing else is as important. God created Adam and Eve in the Garden primarily to spend time with him. He would come down from Heaven and visit with them, one-on-one, in the garden. This was before they fell into sin. Even now, as we have been made right again by Jesus, we are again supposed to be spending time with God. Really, I have called this ‘prayer’ here because that’s what everyone can relate to. In reality though, I see a difference between the practice of prayer and mediation. I would go so far as to say that mediation is the real thing we are to be doing. I look at prayer as speaking this and that to God, asking for requests generally. Mediation, on the other hand, is just simply spending time with God, and not really asking anything from him. It is focusing on God instead of on what we think that we need. So, in that case, I would say mediation is more important than prayer.
