Praying and reading scriptures is not the most daunting task I've ever done in my life. I can read well, I understand reasonably well what I read and have plenty of resources to help me with what I don't understand, and I have no physical ailments to keep me from getting on my knees. It's that simple, and yet, for me right now, it's simply hard because I am once again trying to make prayer and scripture study a daily or double daily (morning and night) habit. But, not just a habit, a necessary part of my life. Until I reach that point where I want to read and pray every day, it is simply hard. I am also trying not to let the thoughts of "it's only until you get out of the habit again" stay with me and discourage me. I do remember (as much as I can) what it feels like to have the blessing and power that comes from having daily and meaningful talks with God and reading His words. I love the truths of His gospel. So, I'm off to make simply hard, simply natural.
I am grateful for the chance to try again, and again, and again.
