I would like to improve and grow in the area of prayer. I love reading the bible and do several daily devotionals and studies but when I pray my mind wanders. I will start to pray about something and it will spark memories or questions and off my mind goes. Sometimes I write my prayers out and it still happens but not for such wild tangents.
I was told once that if I pray silently Satan cannot hear it. Only God has that ability. But if I write it Satan can see it,too. I feel that he really tries to attack me when I am close to the Lord.

pampauley65, may God bless you in your prayer life. I love what Jesus said of Satan: “He has no power over me” (John 14:30). Yes, Jesus’ power is greater than the evil one and his attacks. For more on what Satan can and can’t do, check out this online booklet, “What In The World Is Satan Doing?” – http://discoveryseries.org/discovery-series/what-in-the-world-is-satan-doing/

Praying for you, Jesse. May these words from the apostle Paul encourage you today: “My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Take it one day at a time, trusting in God and seeking godly help/counsel from others.

I need to improve my prayer life and being with the Holy Spirit.

I find that when I’m trying to become disciplined in my prayer life, I have to take baby steps. I start praying for one minute at a time and refuse to let my mind stray for that minute. The next time I pray a little longer and find that it’s a little easier to stay focused. God blesses our time with Him-whether it’s in short spurts or long ones-and will teach us His truths as we try to seek Him.

THE ONE AREA THAT I WOULD LIKE TO IMPROVED IN MY GROWTH TO HAVE A BETTER SPIRITUAL LIFE IS MAKING A SOLID DESITION WHETHER ITS IN GODS WILL TO STAY MARRIED TO A NONBELIEVER WHO DOES NOT CHANGE THEIR WAYS BUT TAKES ADVANTAGE TO THE FACT THAT IM A BELIEVER.

Dsmendez,
I too am married to a non-believer. I have been praying for my spouse for 19 years.
I came to the decision years ago that I could only get divorced if my spouse wanted to leave. Otherwise, I was supposed to stay married. God’s word says, in 1Cor 7:15, But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
I also believe that if you are being physically harmed or put in danger, you should leave.
You must go before the King and be sure He wants you to divorce – and be sure it is not just your will, but His.
I will pray for you.
