Don't worry. The newness wears off after a time. The neccesity now, is to create a time to meet with God every day (He meets with you, doesn't He?).
You have to make it a priority, then it will become a habit - just like brushing your teeth.
You may also want to look into other avenues of Bible study & devotions. there's lots of Study Bibles. Also, invest in a Bible reading plan, 1 - 2 years usually works best. You can download & print one from nearly every Bible website.

I understand. Try to set aside a few minutes every day to pray. There are bibles that are divided into daily readings, take a minute in the morning to say a prayer, at lunch, whenever....
I can understand your situation though. Through time and becoming preoccupied with life in general, we can find ourselves slipping back into a rut and finding less and less time for prayer.
Just take it one little moment at a time.

It's okay, it's really normal for people to fluctuate in this. Maybe while your in a lower part of the fluctuation try to find ways to make it easier for you. Get the scriptures on CD, and listen while you drive, get a family member to pray with you, so you can remind each other.
best wishes

Are walk as a Christian is much like a marriage.It starts out much the same way and will eventually end if you fail to be faithful.If we love are spouse enough we will do anything to keep our marriage together.Now how much do you love the Lord ?

praying repeatedly is not needed by GOD, i mean repeated prayers of the same word. when you pray pray alone in your room while your door is closed that no one will disturb you in your prayers to ask god about what you need and till him what you it to be; do not pray standing but pray by kneeling to god not praying and kneeling before a grave image or calendar image of god for GOD is a spirit that ; nobody have not yet seen him. the image was only printed or graven b y a carpenter to let you believ e that he is god but he could not talk, see, smile and move

Congradulations!!
Take a moment each day, to read teh Bible and ask before you do, that God help you to understand his teachings for the life he gave you.
That should get you started.

God knows we have to make a living & we don't have to pray all day long, But we can have a prayerfull heart.

Sometimes we need a small break for ourselves, basically restore the batteries, we all get burned out, trust God and be sincere in prayer.
God bless
