9. Squirrel! Dealing with Distractions Talks With Thomas

My mind wanders off far too often when I pray or read my Bible.
Everyone gets distracted. 
How do we deal with the distractions?
1. Learn to notice and acknowledge the distractions. God already knows you're distracted, so talk to Him about it.
2. Ask God if you're being distracted or directed. Is the distraction your mind wandering or something God is directing you towards?
3. If it is a distraction, ask God to help you focus. He's the One who tames the seas, so He can definitely tame your mind.
This all gets easier with practice, but don't ever expect it to be easy. Distractions will come to keep you from enjoying prayer, but God can and will help you.
