How do you get it back?

Question

I have had a super close relationship with God in the past. And also a strong testimony. For quite a few years I have lost it, because I chose to. But now I want it back and don't know where to start. I already go to church every week and I know I could pray or read my scriptures or something. But it's just so hard to actually just go and do that when I haven't for so long. And I feel like it's too much work to keep up with. I'm not sure lol. Any advice?

Answer

I have had the same problem. Every Sunday I am ready to start the week reading and praying and then I don't. I just don't have the drive like I used to.  I have been wanting to try BoM365 on Instagram and read the whole BoM in a year. I haven't started yet but maybe if I double up days, I can catch up by the end of the month. I also want to try and read the lessons for Sunday School each week but always for get. I feel like I need to check in with someone, like I did when I was in seminary. But I don't really have anything like that anymore.

Answer

It's difficult to get back in the habit. I came back in 2011 and I'll admit that the only time I pray is when I need something. Its pretty bad. I've been wanting to check in with someone too. Would it be possible to start a thread or group for women who want to get back into regular prayer and scripture study?

Answer

Prayer especially in the morning (and talking about what you want to accomplish that day even the simple things) and reading scriptures every day. (even if it's just a couple of verses, I generally study topics not books at a time) is the biggest testimony grower for me.  But everyone is different.
