Almost all of us have had times when scripture study has been difficult. Usually that is because we aren’t getting much out of it, so scripture study becomes more like a chore than a joy. We would recommend that you take a look at the following site that offers scripture study helps:

We would also recommend that you read John Hilton III’s Please Pass the Scriptures for more ideas to make your scripture study more meaningful, and therefore more desirable on a daily basis (see here)
You can download a sample portion of John’s book at:

I have found that the best way to make reading easier is to set up a simple, steady habit. Just practice reading a little bit every night and once you have the habit, it is not very hard anymore.
