Here are two methods I use in my daily time with God.
Proverb a day
This Is pretty simple, Try reading a proverb a day, no more, no less. The book of proverbs is very practical all about life. By reading a verse each day it gives you something to chew on and think about. When praying, try praying for understanding and insight.
Coloring method
Unfortunately lots of times we end up highlighting our favorite verses or ones that stick out to us, but when you go back to them they dont really mean anything because half your bible is highlighted the same colour. well, this method will help you make the verses you underlined have more meaning afterwards. All you need is a bible and some coloured pencils.
When you find a verse you like, try to colour code them. Often I will spend a time reading a section which might be around 6 verses and go back and read it again, this time putting in the right colour code to match it.
1) Gods will/Commands of God--->Green
2)Promises of God---> Orange
3)Qualities of God--->Purple
4)Prayer---> blue
Also, In some verses I put little symbols. For example, I have one for spiritual warfare, its a cross with lightning, or a heart for verses that shows Gods love.
