The Prayer is still valid as far your intention to continue praying for the sake of Allah  is not terminated or stopped or changed. Distraction during the prayer is from Shaitan who always tries to disturb us and spoil our relationship with Allah. It does not invalidate the prayer but you need to focus again on the prayer and avoid the Satanic thoughts (whispering).
