Do you pray or meditate?

I pray daily but I don't meditate. I have a very active mind. Even if I try, I can't meditate. My thoughts will wander away. But I do pray daily. Since childhood, we have been taught to pray daily without fail. Prayer gives you strength to walk through the difficult times in your life. It is very important.

Everybody has an active mind, believe me. It's not easy to meditate, at least not at a beginning, but just be persistent and eventually you will be able to calm your mind. Try to focus on some small thoughts, like the sound of birds, water drops or something like that.
