I'm finding more and more that prayer can be a wonderful form of meditation. Rather than being constantly bothered with my laundry list of complaints, perceived needs and desires, I think God mainly just wants me to enjoy him.
In prayer, this means quiet, still reflection on who he is, and simple enjoyment of his presence, rather than rattling off a thank-you list or a bunch of requests, as if he were some sort of cosmic DJ. Besides, according to the writings of Paul, the Holy Spirit constantly intercedes on our behalf "...with groanings too deep for words."
I usually can't feel his presence because my mind is so filled with noise and occupied with my own selfish pursuits. When I turn off the noise and slow down, only then can I be at peace.
