Is it hard to pray seriously to the God of whom we believe? It isn't right?. For my own thoughts and experience, while praying seriously to our God the negatives and temptations disturbs our deep praying.. I don't know why. It's just that the otherside of the good unleashes it powers to be tempt and disturbs our concentration to pray thoroughly. Is it the otherside are doing this or it is just me that thinks the other for im on the bad side? What do you think? I will accept any opinions, suggestions, reactions.. I will fully appreciate that..

In my experiences, and from the passages of the Bible, the devil tries to stop us from doing good things. Most often when we are in prayer, he tries to put things in our mind, such as temptations, guilts, and sins. So when we entertain his devices, we are looser and missed the joy of divine prayer. That's why it is very important that we ask the Holy Spirit to lead us and prepare us before talking to God. The Holy Spirit will set our mind and heart worthily before God, that guarantee the success of our prayer.

This happens to ALL people, no matter how much they admit it. Promise. We are all human, all imperfect. It happens, just focus on God as much as possible, and just pray for conentration. It's ok, I feel ya. :)
