There is a very famous story of a young girl standing on a street corner selling apples. Someone comes over and knocks over the entire container and apples begin rolling every which way. The girl stands there not doing anything until someone says to her “if you can’t get everything, at least get what you can.” Sometimes during davening, a persons mind wanders but no one should think the whole davening is over because some of it is lost. Its better to get some apples than no apples.
