Distractions

 In prayer, distractions are only in the mind, not in the heart.  When you decide to sit and meditate, it is the heart that really decides.  It longs for union.  The mind seems to make the decision but distractions that soon follow in the mind, show the mind to be divided at best.  What to do?  Just keep praying, because God and heart are doing fine, though the mind is too busy with distractions to notice.  And it is the mind that judges how the prayer went.  So never judge your prayer based upon some feelings or level of distractions.  Prayer is not so much to change the mind as to change the self as in transformation.  The mind will catch up in time.
