I have found that when I begin studying bible lessons, reading the scriptures and even when I begin my prayers, there is always some type of distraction. It can be yawning or a distracting itch or my mind wandering. I always catch it and will begin my prayer again, making sure I slowly repeat it and pay attention to the meaning of each stanza. I also make it a point to let my distractor know that no matter what they send my way, I will always return to the Lords Prayer, nothing will distract me that much.
Another method I have been doing is praying to God prior to reading or doing bible lessons for his insight and understanding. I also pray to the Holy Spirit to counsel me and open my heart and mind to the Word. I have found this to be the most amazing way to begin my studies and opening my eyes to God's laws and Jesus's examples.
Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
2 Timothy 2:7
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God
1 Corinthians 2:12
