My mind tends to wander when I try to pray or study the Bible sometimes. Or it will seem like the things I'm praying to God for help with will become more worrisome when I start to pray, almost as if my mind is being distracted. But I've noticed that if I have mellow nature or instrumental playing in the background it helps me to focus, and eventually I block out the music and get lost in study or prayer. This type of music also reminds me of God's creations and how powerful He is which may be another reason it relaxes me. Is this acceptable, or could listening to music at these times be viewed as a form of ritual that God would disapprove of? Below is an example of the type of music I listen to. The only difference is that it may have nature sounds included:
