I would love to feel one with God's words and be wrapped up in the Holiness of our Creator.
I have a few Bibles but just can't seem to read them! I just feel lost when I start to read.
I am looking for one I can read on my tablet in bed.
I'd recommend the good and readable NIV translation (and a link that is helpful in several ways is below).
Read through from the beginning of a book, taking your time, so you have all the context and ongoing situation.

slow down as needed, and sometimes when reading in a gospel I can only read a few verses on some nights because of how deep and profound Christ's words can be.
If it takes me a month to read one gospel, that's perfect. If it takes 2 months, that's perfect. 3 months would be fine!
Here's the NIV at Matthew chapter 1
More translations and also commentaries on any verse when needed by clicking on the verse number.
Matthew 1 NIV
Read through gospels (at least 2) first. Then continuing right on to Acts and through the New Testament over time. And getting the additional gospels you haven't yet also. John is so wonderful, Luke is helpful, detailed, Matthew beautiful.
I read better when I lay aside doctrine.
I want to truly pay attention, so that when I read something like "love one another" it really hits home, and I really get it in my heart.
He is speaking directly to us.
We want to truly listen to Him.
