Let me add that he really stresses relying on God. You are doing the right thing by praying, but it sounds like because you feel very distracted during that prayer that you give up praying. Try moving from where you are and praying to God as you walk or something.

Thanks for the reply, I would really appreciate a link to that book sometime.
