Prayer is a spiritual communication with a higher power, while meditation is a practice to focus the mind and achieve inner calm.

Prayer is externalised, meditation is internalised. Meditation is looking in, prayer is seeking out. Meditating, you find the Godhead within. Praying, you pay obeisance to God

Prayer is generally a form of communication with a higher power, where you speak or think your wishes or gratitude. Meditation, however, is a technique to quiet your mind, focus your thoughts, and find inner peace, often without any spoken words.
