Calling out for God and asking for miracles to happen and wanting to be a better person are two very different outcomes. The way of doing either may be the same, The purpose is different by a big margin.Nor is christian prayer thought to be able to work miracles(that would be god). You can "use" meditation on whomever you like, it doesn't cure mental disorders..............I'm not sure what you think "studies have proved"......
Why do you need them to be so different? Are you familiar with the term cognitive dissonance?
