I have an idea. The next time you are trying to pray and your mind is bouncing from one image to another, try doing what He did. When He was tempted by the devil, in the desert, Matt 4: 1-11; Luke 4:1, 13. He didn't converse with the devil. He quoted scripture:
If you are the son of God, tell Deuteronomy 8: 3. Human beings do not
these stones to turn into loaves. live on bread alone but on every word that
comes from the mouth of God.
If you are the son of God, throw Matt 4: 7 & Deuteronomy 6:16 Do not put
yourself down. the Lord your God to the test.
Remembering a scripture to fit the moment may not come to you, so some people just say "Lord Jesus." Scripture says that we can even say "Lord Jesus," unless the Holy Spirit allows it. 1 Cor 12:3. Notice it's not about having no thoughts; it's about not chasing after them. Try it.
