@some_toenails yep it’s just like that! itself like if you want to nurture a friendship with anyone you spend time in their presence and hear what they have to say (like reading God’s Word). i’ve found videos explaining books of the Bible like the BibleProject on youtube or videos of people’s bible studies / experiences on topics on there (like emy moore, a fave of mine) really helpful for helping me understand. things like commentaries (i use the website the enduringword) can be read alongside verses and explain and give extra context on things which helps me stay interested to see how everything links together. when im feeling really low, i find some uplifting worship music helps me so much to help me focus on Him and not my suffocating feelings or thoughts
