Anthony ,im sorry you are struggling ,being human is hard work ,all Christians sin ,we try not to but it doesnt matter how many times you have read the Bible
,how often you have prayed ,how many years you have been a Christian ,for me the best thing is to read around the same time every day ,when i know i will be alone or at least have quiet in my house ,my minnimum is one chapter a day ,mostly i read a lot more chapters than that but sometimes im tired or my mind is distracted so i just read one ,pick a time and place everyday ,relax and enjoy ,once you get going you wont want to stop ,theres so much good stuff in there it really is a feast for your soul ,dont be too hard on yourself ,God loves you very much .
You got to make up your mind to give God some time.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15
A dear friend of mine gave me a Bible years ago and on the inside cover he wrote "This book will keep you from your sin, or your sin will keep you from this book."
It makes a lot of sense. What you're saying also makes sense. When we give in to our fleshly desires, we find ourselves distanced and not interested in the things of the Lord.
I've learned over the years that we make decisions based on what we love the most. The Lord may be drawing us to study his word, but there's something else we want to do.
We have to make the choice. Who or what do we love the most? One of the most profound things Jesus said is that if you want to be my disciple, you must deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow me.
That word deny in the Greek text is the word ARNEOMAI, and it means to reject. We are to reject our fleshly desires and follow Christ.
Again, we follow what we love the most at any given time. Do we really love the Lord when we say we do?
Jesus gave us the command to follow Him. We have to decide. Are we going to follow, or are going to go our own way?
I pray that the Lord will draw you to His word and give you the hunger that can only be satisfied by remaining in His word, and that through His word, you might grow in Christ abundantly!
