Thank you for your posts, very helpful.
That’s something I’ve actually been doing! Opening up at a random Psalm and Proverb everyday several times a day (this lockdown has been good for lots of reading and praying)
I’ve another question
I was due for being baptised before the lockdown closed the churches. Who knows when they will reopen now!
Obviously it says in the bible that we are to be baptised so it’s causing me a bit of anxiety (I probably think way too much)
What’s your thoughts on this?

Baptism doesn't have to take place in a building, designated "church". It can be out of doors (as most of those in Acts, etc), and can even be in the home (with much water present, like pool, etc such as at Cornelius house, in Acts 10-11). You can attempt to schedule a representative of Christ Jesus to come and baptize you, as Cornelius called for Peter. You can simply use a blow up pool, dug in pool, bathtub (has to be large enough to completely submerge all at once the person (you)), or pond, river, ocean, etc. I have even seen a horse trough used (though I do not really recommend it as it is not really "much water" a scripture says, and is small and cramped).
However, even with that stated, when you are baptized, it is usually into the truth that you know and believe, just as in Acts 19:3, but there may be much more that God desires you to know, which may affect you later (Acts 19:4-5).
There is more, of course, but these things ought to help you. I may be able to put up a video in a few days on the subject of Baptism which may help you.
