Do satanic thoughts, which suggest the presence of Satan and the commission of certain acts during prayer, make it difficult to perform?

The whisperings the inquirer experiences are among the stratagems of Satan, who seeks to instill sadness and disrupt the Muslim's prayer. One must seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, turn away from these whisperings, pay no attention to them, and focus on the prayer and what is recited therein of Quran and remembrance.
