How to deal with distraction in prayer

Fr. Scott Bailey offers tips for dealing with distraction in prayer. He quotes CS Lewis' Screwtape Letters to show that the devil wants to distract us from prayer. Fr. Scott highlights ways to prepare for prayer, the importance of refocusing ourselves in prayer, and how to pray with the distraction itself.

The Screwtape letters was a book that will mess with your head. I think the devil really does plan demise and will have a fit when foiled. I personally didn't like that book, although it was very good. C. S Lewis was said to have had a hard time with it and never wanted to revisit it.
Great points!
