If you read the Bible through in a year, you are developing consistently. I read 3 chapters of the Old Testament, one in the New Testament every night to get through in a year, no matter what, and like the Sunday School song says, I "grow, grow, grow." I also read in the Psalms every day, because they are so emotional and touch my heart.
If you need to, keep a check list and check it off. Instead of making it a random thing, make it a daily, consistence thing. Our walk with God needs to be consistent, not subject to whims and moods. Now that is hard for many, but the discipline, I believe is part of being a disciple. I have lots of books you might like to read on the subject, too.
And are you saying you don't have a church anymore? That might be part of the problem. I did that once for 2 years, and didn't pick up my Bible once. When I found a fellowship with love, the Bible just jumped open and came to life. We do need other believers to learn, share and grow with.
