Brothers and sisters please pray for me. I stuggle with habitual sin and starting last night it has been hard to get excited about the Word of God. It just doesn't stir me like it did and lately today I have just been feeling depressed and forlorn. I know I should meditate on Scripture but I am finding it hard to even pick my Bible up to start reading. I will pray for God to show Himself in my life and help get me excited about having a relationship with Christ and I am asking anyone to send a prayer for me as well.
Thank you, brothers and sisters. God bless you
yeah I have known this all too well and most times it's not always the spirit leaving you for a time but rather boredom can set in,not because God's word is truly dull but rather our minds want something of the world because we're all accustomed to keeping up with what is new or finding something that looks exciting to take up our time,it's very common place,I mean it is from a physical stand point understandable because unless you find interest in the bible through the way you like best,it becomes a repetitious"chore" in your mind,I see that you've already received prayers and good advice,and you are feeling better spiritually,just thought I'd mention to try changing how you read the bible,true you still read alongside the holy spirit to study the bible,but repetition can be a downer so try to change things up a little,for example alot of times before going to sleep,I take my bible and open it to a random page,read a chapter,then go to sleep,or at one point I even wrote a memory teachings composition,all about multiple titles of many who are mentioned in the bible,and while I mainly did it to become a Christian children church teacher,it actually was exciting because I not only went through the entire bible once but also,learned more,and didn't feel so down about reading the bible,so if you think you made need an interest boost,try making a biblical challenge for yourself,or ask church members for one,like what is the shortest verse in the bible,or how many of Jesus's disciples had the first name Judas,it really can be enlightening and thrilling,just find what gets you wanting to read more,I mean sure no guarantees but it couldn't hurt right? well I hope this helps you or at least gave you some idea of how to not feel so down or feel less drawn toward the bible,it happens as tabitha said,so stay strong,you'll be fine!
