Almost every Christian intends to read the Bible daily. Far fewer actually do. The gap is rarely about desire — it is about design.
Build the habit, not the willpower
Pick a time and defend it. The best time is the one you will actually keep. For most people that is early, before the day gets loud.
Pick a place. Same chair, same corner. Your brain learns the cue faster than you think.
Attach it to something you already do. After the kettle boils. After you brush your teeth. New habits stick best when they lean on old ones.
Keep the bar low. Ten minutes. If ten feels impossible, do three. A habit you keep beats a plan you abandon.
Leave the Bible open. Physically open, on the table. Friction is the enemy of consistency.
When you miss a day
You will miss days. The danger is not the missed day — it is the story you tell about it. "I am hopeless at this" ends habits. "I missed yesterday, so I am reading today" keeps them.
Never miss twice in a row. That one rule will carry you further than any amount of guilt.
The long game
You are not trying to finish the Bible. You are trying to know God. Those are different goals, and only one of them ever ends.
