       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. But prayer, asking God for our requests, does indeed help us throughout our day. This is because we have kept commandments in practicing prayer, thus being obedient, and we have requested God to help us. Like I’ve said in the past, the few times that I did skip prayer and try to start my day, I found that things just didn’t flow. It was like I didn’t have a special blessing on the day, or any extra help. That’s because I valued other things as being more important for living than I valued my relationship with God. That made things unhappy. So, for our maximum level of happiness, then, it’s good to put God first.
