I have a hard time remembering to pray and read my Bible. Extra activities take up a lot of time, and I need to find time to thank, praise, and love God.

I also have a hard time feeling like people accept me. I am shy and don't make new friends very easily. I feel like people don't like me and don't want to talk to me or be my friend.

I am pretty sure I am overthinking the friend thing. But if you could pray for me to venture out and make new friends, please do!

If you have any tips on how to make time for God and to pray every morning and night, let me know in the comments.

Thank you for taking time to read this, may God bless and protect you! ✝️🤍

Amen

Well, if you need a friend, I'm here, but also I understand how you feel because that's how I feel about making friends too. Just tell yourself, I am confident, not shy. The person I want to talk to or make friends with, probably feels the same way I do. I know you can do it. Believe me, when you go from one, hi this is awkward but do you want to be friends, to later best friends, it will be worth it. I know that's not the case for all, but seriously you can meet a best friend just by saying hi to another person who is sitting alone

I completely understand where you are coming from. I used to never pick up my Bible except occasionally during a Sunday service if I was truly paying attention (which was rare back then). Now, I always try to start and end my day with Jesus. In the morning when I wake up, either while still in bed or while brushing my teeth/hair etc I read the verse of the day and do the guided scripture lesson in the Bible app. It takes me about 5 mins to watch its short little video and read the prayer they make for it. I would honestly really recommend starting with that or something similar. Just something small to start building the habit. Now I do that and devotionals and worship in the mornings and read a couple chapters of the Bible and come on here to interact with other believers every night and I absolutely adore my Jesus time. But I would’ve never built this routine if I hadn’t started somewhere. I hope this helps and I’ll be praying for you! <3
