I need help staying focused on the word......

[Maiden]

I'm trying to study and really get in the word now so I can grow more in Christ.........but I'm having trouble getting excited about it. I need motivation some how. Could I get some prayers from you all to help me get back on track? It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I will surely pray for you Maiden. Don't worry, I went through the same thing when I first became a Christian. You might have more luck for prayer in the Prayer and Praise room as well.

I know how you feel! oh man... and I just now started 'getting over it' if thats how you want to put it... Its not really that I was 'ignoring' God... its just.. the way I felt was... like... God was a chore.. like... I would put prayer off until the last minute... or even forget about it... but I felt guilty of course... but I got very sick and kept praying all night long that I would be ok... and I feel bad that I only prayed, at the time, when I wanted something... and when I prayed for health, I also prayed that I would be closer with God, and that I would have the will to carry out my days and put Him ahead of everything... I felt better the next day, and I remember how much better, and releived i felt... Its funny... But Gods kindness really seems to bring repentance out of us all eh?

If you are reading the Bible through, try starting in the New Testiment then go for the Old Testiment. I've found that I can digest Matthew easier then Genesis.
