My advice is this: Keep pushing into Him.
When there are times when I didn't want to hang out with God, I would force myself to open up my Bible, put some worship music on and just tell Him, "God, I'm struggling here to be with you. Help me." And He always did, regardless of how I felt. There are times when you just have to do things you don't truly want to do. Leading a devoted life for Christ can be hard at times, but you just gotta push through it.
This is a normal experience as a Christian (or at least I can say that for myself) and through those times, it's good to push into Him. It doesn't have to be this whole "ritual" but living out an authentic relationship with Him. Telling him you're struggling with hanging out with Him and asking for help is quite okay. Remember, He is STILL your Father when you're feeling like this. You became His child when you said "Yes" to Him

All I can say is :
I'll talk about myself
by saying that it's rare
that I open my own bible to read it...
BUT!
I listen Christians Worship and Praise,
I never stop to use some verses as tool kit,
I come here on CC to talk with others about God,
I pray all day even if my faith is not so high...
So, maybe you can search for some tricks
that can help you to stay in contact with God
even if you don't read the Bible each day...
Well, Yes I must open my bible more often
and study it...
In my head, it's easy to explain
but not in writing...

It might be time to change your approach in how you spend time with God. Humans by nature are people of habit. God wants us to enjoy are time with him not make it into a ritual. Imagine if every time you got together with a friend you just went to the movies and it was the same movie. You would be bored and would probably resist going. My point is maybe you can approach the bible a different way. Read a book in the bible and memorize scripture. Study a bible passage. Maybe before reading, play some songs and worship him. Listen to a sermon. Take a walk or run and pray to God. There are so many possibilities, but the point is that you are spending time with him. He's your Heavenly Father and your friend at the same time, so have fun with him.
