Words in my Heart

Something I struggle with in my daily walk as a Christian is making time to read the Bible. In all honesty, my Bible gets the most action on Sunday, and then it rests for the remainder of the week. I'm sure that's not how God intended it.

I feel close to God; I pray to him all throughout the day. It's almost like my inner-thoughts about what's going on in my life turn into little prayers - little notes I'm sending to God. So I'm communicating with him all the time, but I'm not taking much time to listen or learn what he has to say to me, and that's what I need the most. I need to hear HIS voice when I'm excited, worried, frustrated...I want to hear His voice all the time.

I'm not sure the best way to go about reading the Bible. I've started at the beginning, hoping to read through, and I lose steam after Genesis. And yes, that's just the first book! I want to read the books of the bible and find the meaning in them, to better understand them, but I get discouraged easily. I think a devotional or possibly an online Bible study could be a great tool for me to get more excited about the Bible.

I will do some checking and see if I can find a good fit for me...I want to know my Heavenly Father, and I know I can do so much more to understand His word and His will for my life. I'll keep you updated.
