concentration

I struggle with that once in awhile as well. My mind will often wander when I am trying to pray, or read my Bible. I am learning how to train my mind to stay on task. When it wanders, and I realize it, I say "No, I won't think those thoughts" and I refocus on Jesus. Sometimes I have to do it many, many times while I'm doing something. I "take my thoughts captive" every time. I am finding it easier now, to stay focused. I think part of it is a matter of self-discipline, and part of it is a spiritual battle against the enemy. He loves to distract us. Don't give up...know that God is pleased with your desire to remain focused on Him. Keep asking Him to give you strength. He is faithful.

You might go to the doctor for a check up. Lack of concentration can be a symptom of some minor medical problems which are easily treated.

Mono, thyroid, viruses, etc, often cause concentration problems.

I would offer you advice, but I have the same problem. I will be praying for you.

I will also pray for you.



God bless,
Roberta
