I've tried many things but think my ADHD makes it difficult, though sometimes it makes it deep and powerful, beautiful.

I wondered what methods you use to help this, not necessarily for ADHD but generally.

What's important for you- that you pray every day? What should I be aiming for? Is it right to feel guilt when I forget, or get carried away with other things?

Keen to hear your thoughts, and appreciate any help. Thank you.

I've been experimenting with different ways of searching scripture to find passages based on my current thoughts or even what I have been going through. I'd like to create easy methods of study towards a more meaningful practice.

How have you found the optimal way to do this? Is there anything that would assist you in that?

I've seen bibles full of highlights and post-its through to bible gateway/hub with all the annotation and commentary. What do you prefer? What brings you closer to God?

Thanks for any help with this.

I wanted to find ways of learning and discovering scripture based on what I was going through personally. I'll avoid getting too technical but I've been experimenting with a semantic based search, so "I'm nervous about tomorrow," for example, is translated from modern language into terms found within the Bible and would return verses such as:

"Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient." -Matthew 6:34

I wonder what you think of this method? Would it be considered a shortcut? I understand Bible study is often done manually with a physical book so I see this more as a companion tool rather than a substitute, or possibly an easy-access route for those struggling or beginning their journey.

Please let me know what you think, so I can make this genuinely helpful and meaningful.

Update- to clarify, this isn't using AI. I understand how unnecessary that is.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the sub and kindly request your input on my hobby project.

I've been particularly interested in how the scripture self-references heavily throughout the books, to reinforce important ideas and teachings.

I experimented with mapping the 'data' to itself and using the great work of Christopher Harisson and Christoph Römhild as an influence. So that's almost 64k connections!

I've made a rudimentary and browsable representation of this in an app which I'd love for you to try. If you could give me honest feedback to make this better, or just your thoughts on the concept, I would be incredibly grateful. I'd like it to be meaningful and helpful for people. The core features are all free forever, with a cost for audio narration.

This is iPhone only currently but if it is useful I will make it available on Google/Android too. If anyone would like to help test that, please DM me and I'll send you a link for access. Thank you!

You can find it on the Apple app store under 'His Word Bible'.

I hope you enjoy it and do please let me know what you think :)

Best,
Anna.
