Step Eleven ~ Part 1: Questions

"Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and the power to carry that out."

1) What is the difference, if any, between prayer and meditation?

2) What forms of prayer in the past did I reject that, now I am in recovery, I might want to take another look?

3) What are some of the things I prayed for before recovery and some of the things I pray for today?

4) What forms of meditation do I use today and what effect does this have on my recovery?
