meditation and responsive prayer

From The Bible Project: 
   "Christian meditation is about filling our hearts and minds with the divine... meditation is the practice of entering into the text by reading and rereading it out loud (or listening to it on an app), allowing it to speak to us. ...key words, phrases, and ideas jump off the page at us. Then 

we chew on these words and ideas and begin to form questions that lead us into deeper reflection. This causes us to slow down and experience the text in a way that affects our hearts and minds with the love of God."

   "Try to put yourself in the passage. What emotions are you feeling? What details do you notice? What would you think if you were hearing these words for the first time? What words or images jump out at you? Meditate on these questions and allow divine love and grace to fill you as you reflect on the answers."

   Praying the Bible is "...a mode of reading with an eye towards finding language out of which we form a prayer of response. This differs from meditation in that meditation is an entering into the world of the text and allowing it to speak to us, while prayer is us speaking to God in natural response to the text. To be clear, "prayerful reading" is not wrapping up our Bible time with general prayers about our lives. It's a specific kind of praying that uses words and ideas from the text to shape a prayer of response. ..It's not reading and then praying, as if the two were disconnected. It's prayerful reading."
