I dont know about you guys, but a lot of times I wake up and the last thing that I want to do is read my bible. I sit down with my bible in front of me and I sigh real long and think to myself about how bad of a Christian I am. haha.
So I wanted to share a couple of things that have helped me out through the years.
1. Pray. It helps me a lot to take a posture of submission, whether it be kneeling or head down or whatever and remember how desperately I need the words of God in my life. I am real honest in these prayers too and tell the Lord exactly how I am feeling.
2. When I really really don't want to read my Bible, something is probably wrong with my heart so I go on a walk and I take as long as I need to to get things straight.
3. I pray for a list of people to get my mind off myself. That works well
4. I listen to music that helps me get into a mindset of worship.
I hope that helps, love you guys.
Wow those are some really awesome tips! Sometimes I feel exactly like you were saying, i wake up and i just don't feel like reading the Bible that morning. And a lot of times I can't figure out why I feel that way. But i really like these ideas and I am def gonna try them out! Thanks for the post!

Thanks so much for that! I have found myself in that same situation, and usually when that happens I just end up reading for a few minutes, basically just so I can say I've completed my day's "bible study," but really I don't get anything out of it because I haven't put enough time and effort into it. Not good... So thank you for posting, those tips are very helpful!
