I’m overwhelmed with the Bible. I just feel like there is so much idk. I read the gospels many times but I still feel like Jesus is out of reach. I’m having a hard time accepting the gospel. I’m just losing hope over all. I hate feeling hopeless it just makes me not want to read my bible. Everytime I open up my bible I just get overwhelmed and I want to scroll on my phone. I just hate it. Please help
Liebe Marie, bete bevor du die Bibel liest zu Gott, dass er dir mit dem Hl. Geist das Verständnis gibt die Bibel zu verstehen. Liebe Grüsse 🥰. Micaela
My advice : Don’t just read bible as people use to… some says read the whole bible in a year some even gone far saying read whole bible two times in a year, with who are we competing… Such way we can’t enjoy the word of God… 1 chapter a day with enough time meditating on that single verse is going a long way and reinforce the faith and making your faith stronger Try it and see
You're not alone. It can be very overwhelming sometimes. I'm glad you're trying. God bless. I found the book of Luke to be a good starting place. I had the same problem until I started my youth group at church and we read the book of Luke. I found watching Bible study videos on YouTube to help as I read a handheld Bible and looking up books of commentary on the chapter I was reading. Then ask Bible chat to give you questions on the chapter. I did 1 chapter a week
Have you done a light fast? Read His Word on an empty stomach. It's very powerful. The Holy Spirit will comfort you. Repeat the Lord's prayer until you feel the touch of the Holy Spirit
Not sure how long I should fast tbh
Just fast until you feel the Holy Spirit fill you with love
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Want a deeper explanation?
Querida Marie, estas viendo las cosas de un ángulo equivocado, ninguno podemos alcanzar a Jesús y eso es lo hermoso, que no mereciendo Jesús vino a buscarnos y dice su palabra que él nos amó primero, no debemos sentirnos indignos de Jesús, porque él con su sangre nos a limpiado grande fue su amor demostrado en la cruz.
Dear Marie, you are seeing things from the wrong angle, none of us can reach Jesus and that is the beautiful thing, that not deserving it, Jesus came to find us and his word says that he loved us first, we should not feel unworthy of Jesus, because he has cleansed us with his blood, great was his love demonstrated on the cross.
