This is one of my biggest struggles! I get so easily sidetracked by everything. I’m like you. I don’t remember being this way when I was younger but the older I get, the worse it seems. I wonder if it’s more the devil than anything else. Thanks for this post. I needed it

So many times, before I begin a study period, I pray to God that He will help me stay focused and retain some of what I read. My mind wanders to the problems of the day or how this applies to somebody else or something that occurred yesterday……….Same thing happens in prayer. I have asked God at those times to help me defeat Satan as he tries to pull me away from concentrating on conversation with my Lord. I understand where you are, and I empathize. Maybe we could start a blog prayer ministry. But, then, we really already have one, don’t we. Hang in there, Janice. You have been an inspiration and encourager to many of us. It was remembering something you said that you do that finally caused me to stop getting out of bed and immediately heading for the computer and telling me I would study and pray “later in the day.” Now, most days, I do it within the first hour I’m up. Thank you, my friend.

Thank you Judy, you know you are near and dear to my heart.

Yes, praying for someone or something brings thoughts of problems which leads the mind to situations and before you know it your mind had drifted. I feel that God understands that these are human weaknesses, since he made us this way.

I expect he does understand, still I can’t help but feel it is also a lack of discipline on my part.

Thanks for stopping by!
