Distraction has been identified as one of the devil’s strategies in robbing us of access to our inheritance in God. satan hinders our prayers from being answered by causing various distractions in life, especially, at the place of prayer.
Blind Bartimaeus showed a good example of how to ignore distractions. When he heard that Jesus was passing by, he began to cry out for mercy. Many people tried to distract him by asking him to shut up, but he refused to be distracted; he shouted the more.
So, one of the ways to receiving answers to prayers from God is by an undistracted desire and pursuit; it is coming to the point where you pursue what you want at the place of prayer, allowing no one to distract you from receiving it.
