I wrote this song yesterday, I hope this makes you feel better
"I am Scripture, I am God's living word!"
When I was born,
I was written in the bible,
How was I suppose to know.
But his love has never ended,
He endured through my growth!
God knows what he planted,
I am his tree,
Planted in this world,
His orchard,
For all to see!
Chorus:
I am scripture,
I am scripture,
I am God's living word,
I am scripture,
I am scripture,
That's living in this world!

I know I went through that, lacking in wanting to read scripture. I found with me, I was trying to read it the wrong way. I tried to start from the beginning, which I think was wrong for me. As I already read Genesis when I was younger, so it felt like I was getting nowhere. I decided to take the things that were bothering me (Myself in sin, the sins of others, what was going on), and look online for what scripture had to say about it. I would research what I did not understand, and their origin. Than read it from my bible, to make sure it said the same. Like the Bereans did, with Paul. It worked for me! I have found that everyone has their own style! May strength, endurance, and peace be with you!

Hi! To anyone who see this, please pray for me, I'm not seeking God as I should, and for some reason i have lost interest in reading the Bible
For me it was because of sin alot of it in my life , God accepts honest Christians into his heaven even if they werent honest as long as they repent and choose to be honest to obey him. I found I have be intentionally honest with God and gradually he removes the sin thats blocking my repentance. Also to be honest you have to pray when you dont want to go to church when youre tired sacriface sometimes to obey him best advice : focus on his love that will change your life , he belives in you he loves you . Its ok.
You have been honest here...that's awesome. But let's see what might help. First off know Satan wants you to talk about the bible, share what you know about the bible, even have the latest edition sitting on your desk, he just doesn't want you to pick it up and read it. You can occasionally read a psalm or two but don't really get spiritual direction from it He hates that! The feeling of not wanting to is normal but it is also something we need to overcome. The funny thing is when you read it, actually do the task God makes it worth while.
I have picked up my bible after having a thousands events cause me excuse to avoid it and after reading it I ask myself at the end, "Why didn't I do that earlier?" Like the V-8 slap on the head, "I could of had a truth investment" SMACK!! I see it was me not the events or circumstances making that decision.
Practical commitments of small proportions is a good start. Do the simple 5X5X5 plan: Promise yourself 5 minutes a day of reading the same New Testament book in order [only] just as a starter commitment to yourself. You can re-tour up later but keep it simple for now. Chose whatever book you want, but make it a translated version for now not paraphrased, unless you use those for additional study on the verses. Promise to do this for 5 days straight. And finally commit to 5 ways to dig deeper into the Word: 1]. Underline or highlight key words and phrases. 2]. Write your own translation. Paraphrase in your own words the meaning of the passages. 3].Ask Questions: Questions unlock new discoveries and meanings.Ask questions using the words who, what, why, when, where, and how. How would you answer these questions? Jot down your thoughts. 4]. Capture the big idea. simply think about it you can write it down too if you want. 5]. Personalize the meaning. How does this passage in particular meet me in the rubber meeting the road for a practical application?
After the week assess your progress. prayer will come with all this you will find yourself talking to God while reading as well. God bless I hope this might be helpful.
I will pray it can be used....! And I will pray for you to enter into His presence. "God is our shelter and our strength. when troubles seem near, God is nearer, and He's ready to help!" Psalms 46:1. Be honest and real with God in prayer about everything, when we start out in praise He then will bring us and our issues to His level of care..But Ramp also simply do it! If we know of what we ought to do, the answer to the prayer is to simply do it!

None of us are seeking God how we should -- it is all about just pushing ourselves to do better everyday. Some days we will stumble and others we will excel. I find that listening to a good audio bible while reading to be very helpful. It can make it much more interesting experience and you get to improve on pronunciations of names and etc. You could also try a bible plan that will give you different parts of the bible to read everyday. I have one that I feel makes reading some of the less exciting books like Judges and Leviticus easier to read because you only read some chapters once a week. Of course there are many bible plan out there just have to find one that suits you. The more you read and the deeper you go the more the bible will amaze.
God is the source of life. You should walk with him at all times. The Bible teaches you how to do that. God wants you to enjoy life.Hi! To anyone who see this, please pray for me, I'm not seeking God as I should, and for some reason i have lost interest in reading the Bible

God sustains me He is my water, breath, i open my eyes each each morning because He wants me to. my creator. i will praise His name. a wife abandoned my kids and me. a girlfriend promised to never...but did. friends talk trash, pastors shock me. my God alone is faithful and true. i will serve Him, whatever He asks.
