I get so fired up about spending time with God and then two weeks in I'm skipping days. Then I feel guilty which makes me skip more. Anyone else deal with this cycle? I know consistency is supposed to build faith but man it's harder than I thought when you're juggling work and kids and everything else.
Yeah man, this is the struggle. I think the issue is we set these grand plans and when life gets busy we feel like we failed. Maybe consistency doesn't have to look the same every day?
What if you tried a different time or format? Sometimes the guilt cycle breaks when you change something about how you're doing it. Just a thought.
Real talk - this cycle won't break by just trying harder. Something in the approach needs to change or you'll keep spinning.
That guilt cycle is real and it's a trap. You end up feeling bad about skipping which makes it harder to come back. I had to change my approach and start smaller.
The guilt is the enemy here, not the skipped days. Grace covers the gaps. Maybe refocus on that instead of the consistency piece?

Same boat here. Started doing 5 minutes instead of 30 and it actually stuck better. Quality over quantity might be the key.
