Pls keep asking God for his help. THe fact that you recognize the need for Him is good. Easy prayer - the Jesus Prayer. Check out the book "the Way of a Pilgrim" it really works.

Thank you for your advice. Mary is the sufferer of wandering mind during the day. I lose things, I forget what I was going to collect in the next room when I get there. I forget names of people I have known all my life. Oh, it is very frustrating. When I come to prayer time,it is pure torture. It seems all the devils come out to ensure all kinds of distracting thoughts are competing for space in my mind and I lose track of my prayers. I have to keep on struggling to pull my mind back from distractions and continue with my prayers. I will take your advice to heart and plead with Jesus to help me in this warfare. On my own, I will forever be struggling and getting nowhere. Oh Brother Lawrence, God bless you. Thank you for your advice. Mary is the sufferer of wandering mind during the day.
