This can be a challenge for a lot of Christians especially for us in the neurodivergent community. For me, I try to watch sermons, podcast and read Bible verses that I know will encourage me. Its not always easy. My flesh wants to watch postless videos or scroll on Facebook all day. As a Christian that's working toward being a minister I want to be intentional on how I spend my time. I'm not perfect at it,but I have made improvements. How have you dealt with issue as Christian with a neuro challenges like Autism or adhd?

mwalker1996, you are doing good things with some of the good things you are doing if it helps you. Me, I make sure I priotise things for God all the time. Say If I had an idea to write in my mind for the faith and it came to me and I was planning to eat. I would suspend eating untl I had done whatever I need to do for God. If someone gave me a 10,000 essay to read cut and paste not their own presented to me over doing something for God the other one will be secondary to do everything I needed to do for God that day.
Jesus said make his mission number one so try and follow that. That was what he meant when he said follow me, make my mission number one.
If you do that according to your capability then you are doing your best and you cannot ask for more.

There can be good and bad things online. Make sure you are not giving into tempatations and you know what they are well.

With prayer the mind can wander if left to drift. I can be useful to have specific things to pray for specific people.

With bible study it can be boring. However, it can be interesting to free you mind to ask questions and allow your curiosity to try to put "puzzle pieces" together.
