I’ve been a Christian for a while and lately something’s been bothering me. I know I should be reading the Bible and praying but when it comes to actually doing it I just don’t. And the thing is I’m not lazy, I can spend hours coding, learning new things, building projects and it comes completely natural to me. But sitting down to read the Bible or pray just doesn’t.
What makes it worse is that I don’t like that I don’t like it. Like I genuinely want to want to do it but I can’t make myself. I’ve tried everything, reading plans, devotionals, alarms, different times of day, nothing sticks. And I don’t want to force something that feels hollow but I also don’t want to just drift away from my faith.
There’s this gap between who I want to be spiritually and where I actually am and I can’t figure out how to close it.
Has anyone been here? What actually helped? Not looking for “just be more disciplined” I’ve heard that already. Looking for something real.
