Fall asleep when trying to pray or read Scripture 😩
There's a couple things to note before offering helps.
We all experience the same thing. Learning to live in the spirit while in an sin stained earthen vessel can be frustrating at times. Thank God for His grace and mercy.
"The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak".
Jesus asked his disciples the same question in the garden.
You are probably not allowing yourself enough rest either physically or mentally. So when you have a time where you sit and relax to pray or read you zzz.
Change your schedule; study the word first thing in the morning.
On prayer, the Bible suggests you pray first before other things. So Pray before going to work. Pray when you first come home from work. Pray after dinner but before you let yourself do anything else.
I recently heard of prayer recordings and think this has good guidance.
1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
I also think you might do good listening to dramatized version of Scripture. Theres two I know of a nasb version and a kjv by scourby. The latter costs to download it; i loved it as a 20 year old cuz 😅 we had no other Bible versions back then and was the only way I could grasp the old archaic language. But either one will be good option for you. It has dramatic music, tells as a story drama before you and has varied voices and tones.
