Bible Study Ideas for when you draw a blank

I don't know about you, but I struggle with a short attention span. Sometimes I wonder if I would ever truly be diagnosed with ADD or maybe it's because I'm a mom and I've developed a pattern of not completing a thought. Who knows. But my short attention span has hurt me tremendously when it comes to spending time with God in His Word and to study specific topics.

Many years would begin and I would have a one topic goal for that year. Well after about 2-3 weeks, I'm tired of studying it. Okay I got it, now let's move on! LOL. In reality, I really did NOT get it, but my hatred for the same thing over and over ruined it for me.

So I needed to try something different for me. I have prayed a lot about it and God really has helped "customize" a plan just for me (sounds like a diet commercial doesn't it? lol). Basically, I still have that year topic/theme, but I also have different themes for each month AND even different things for specific days of the week.

For example, January is the first month of the new year...so I want to study about new beginnings, having a joyful life and about forgiveness. February has Valentine's Day in it, so the theme is on marriage and your love walk. March I think of St. Patrick's Day and the gold wrapped coins lol. So I'm going to study Prosperity, being blessed and being a blessing and also God's Promises. And on and on.

But that's not all. Nope. I even have something more specific for myself on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. These three days I read and/or listen to a message on the mind, the mouth, and our attitude. This is the biggest area for all Christians and I want it right in my face on a regular basis. So the list below shows you what I'm doing throughout the year.

If you are sometimes lost at what to study, or have issues like I do with a short attention span, give this idea a try. Note: I feel God is leading me to study something else or I'm having an issue I need to deal with and study on, I will put these topics to the side. This is more of a "default"...I run back to this when I don't have anything else to study
