I believe in God, there's no doubt about that but I can't seem to find the effort to do more worshipping. I love listening to others talk about Jesus (even when someone just handed me a leaflet on the street and said "Jesus loves you" made so happy and joyful) but doing something myself is a whole other story. When I read the Bible, I manage couple of pages and then I get kinda bored and put it away and start doing something else and it's the same with praying. I try to pray at least every night before I go to bed but I'm not sure I'm doing it right and most of the time it feels like I'm praying just to get it over and done with and sometimes I don't even know what to say so I just pray The Lord's Prayer. I'm really worried about this. Has anyone else ever struggled with this? What should I do? Should I just keep reading The Bible and pray more and it will change?
Why not take a copy of your post, get alone with God, tell Him you want to read it to Him from your heart, and just read it to Him? The Scripture says to cast all your care upon Him because He cares for you.
What you have said shows that although you have just a little grace in your heart compared to other, stronger believers, what you have is genuine, and Jesus can do a lot with it, fan it into flame and make it stronger.
What He wants is for you to come to Him just as you are, not trying to be better at praying or reading the Bible. The Scripture says that when you are weak, then He is strong. Once you have read that post to Him, ask Him for a total filling of the Holy Spirit and for Him to reveal Himself to you in a new way.
What I did was to say to the Lord, "I am Paul, and You are God, and I'm very glad to meet you". Immediately, I felt all lit up like Times Square and I just knew Jesus was real. I had a new love for honest, sincere prayer, and the Bible became a new book for me.
So, have you introduced yourself to Jesus? He told me that He had been waiting for me to do that for the whole two years since I accepted Him, and was trying to do all the religious stuff. I was the loudest, tongues talking, praising, Bible bashing, foot thumping Pentecostal you could ever meet, but I didn't know Jesus, because I had never got by myself and just introduced myself to Him!
When I introduced myself to Him, I heard His voice in my heart for the first time. It was like His voice was all through my inner being. I had never heard that voice before and it was accepting of me, faith building, kind, gentle, yet powerful and although all my friends treated me as a problem case, Jesus told me clearly that He didn't see me like that at all! It was a life changer for me!
