i'll read it for like 60-70 seconds, put it down, then watch random stuff


then i might read it again for another minute and this is the cycle

i'm BORED when i SHOULD NOT be


i feel justified in not reading the Bible


i have SO much energy and NO outlet because i have NO job and NO friends

Just a thought. You might want to check the symptoms of attention deficit syndrome on the net. You may not have it, but sometimes some of your posts have made me wonder. I have it myself.

Some of the characteristics include inability to stick with "nonpreferred" tasks, but hyperfocus on things that are really liked.

Just in case you have the symptoms, you might want to check out some of Dr. Daniel Amen's (a psychiatrist who has done over 60,000 brain scans) Youtube vids & books on that topic. It's a thought.

Praying Messiah will lead you to whatever action is right for your personally.

I have found that reading it outloud really helps. Try it anyway and insist on pushing past the strong urges to quit. Because you will start to get a new perspective on things, and your crappy feelings will begin to change, it really is the only way God is going to get you out of your mess.

P.S. And you can just listen to the Word. You can get free audios online, even. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of YHWH" aka God. Let it wash over you while you do other things, like driving for example. Some will soak in and you will get blessings and more strength.

Have you tried reading Our Daily Bread? It's a very short (60 second) devotional with one Bible verse attached. It might be exactly what you need at this stage in your life!

Our Daily Bread

I'm praying that God will give you wisdom and guidance regarding job, and finding a community of people that you can rely on and spend time with!

Message me if you need help!
