Please Pray for me. I am reading the Word of God and i feel as if the words are just coming out of my mouth. I feel as if i am not getting anything from the reading and like it is doing no good for me to read it. I pray for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the word and to be able to retain what i have read and apply it to my life. That is my prayer, I pray that eventually as i read the word that it will be as if i am there standing on the side watching as what happens, happens, and i will understand, retain and be able to recall what i have read, so i can use it later in life, or as it is needed for Gods purpose. In Jesus name i pray........ Amen
Dear Travis , reading the word of God is not a race . You can't and won't appreciate it all immediately and you certainly won't understand it all immediately .
Through the Bible , the Word of God , you are learning about God and drawing closer to Him . This is not going to happen overnight , the transformation of you into someone who is acceptable takes your whole life because the Bible , no matter how many times you read it or for how many years you read it , it always always always , has something new to show you . If you started reading it when you were ten and read it every day for the rest of your life and you were still alive at age 90 , it would still be showing you and teaching you something new . The Word of God is alive . Jesus says : let these Words sink down into your ears .
Don't treat it as if you were on your lunch break and it's a burger that you have to eat within a set time , before your lunch break is over . It's a life long banquet . You will be feeding off of it for the rest of your life . Take your time and savour it and when you have read the entire Bible through once , start again , and then...again , for the rest of your life . Get that seed planted firmly in your heart and then keep feeding it ! May God bless your efforts and may He grant you the patience you need to appreciate His Word , for the rest of your life .
