I fail, I fail, and I fail again.

It seems there is nothing harder for me to do than to consistently set aside time in God's word and in prayer.  I know I'm not the only one that struggles with being too "busy."  It must hurt Him so much that I can't and won't set aside a special time for just the two of us every day.  It makes me sad, and I'm doing something about it.  I'm looking for a good book to help me read through the bible this year.  Any suggestions?
