Is it permissible to play a supplication at a low volume during prayer to combat absentmindedness, knowing that the supplication contains the words of Allah and helps restore focus and reverence?

Upon entering prayer, one must abandon thoughts of worldly matters and their preoccupations because they distract from prayer. Whoever does this and perseveres in it, Allah will not disappoint him, for Allah Almighty says: "And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good."
