Why does your mind wander?

Do you ever start to pray and find your mind quickly going somewhere else? That is not a sign that you’re a “bad Christian.” A wandering mind in prayer is part of a spiritual war, shaped by indwelling sin and a distracted culture. Take confidence in Paul's teaching; you’ve been raised with Christ, you’ve died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. God’s acceptance of you doesn’t rise and fall with how focused you feel. Simply keep coming back to the God who already holds you in Christ.
