Key Takeaways:
• If you're finding yourself distracted and losing focus as you pray, ask for God to help you. If anybody is going to be able to help you, it's Him.
• Any prayer is better than no prayer at all.
• Start small, be patient with yourself, and you will get there. God doesn't need much to do much. So if five minutes of focused prayer is all you have, give it to God and know that He treasures every minute.

A Prayer to Love Those Who Are Hard to Love - Your Daily Prayer - November 10
Loving others isn't always easy, especially when their words or actions leave us feeling hurt, frustrated, or misunderstood. But God calls us to extend the same patience, kindness, and grace He shows us every day.
