I am newly baptised and confirmed on the same day, as of 15th April 2024 and I am already struggling with praying fervently and reading the scriptures diligently daily. I also struggle with keeping the Lord in my mind throughout the day while tending to procrastinate spending time with him in prayer. All too often, the past couple of days I find myself having doubts eg., "See? There is no special incidents after baptism and I am making my life harder now than before, and for what?"

At other times, I worry about the things that I may need to confess. Not sure if I am being overly scrupulous at all either. While it may not seem a big deal to some, the beginning couple days of my new journey has not been entirely easy and I ask for any prayers that could come my way since I am not sure what I should request for. 

I have unsubscribe most of the channels on Youtube and left those that can help in my journey. If there are any advice or channels that the members here can point me to, that would be greatly appreciated too.

Thank you all kind souls in advance!

2 things.

You won't always be consulate or fervent. Sometimes you will feel disconsolate and dry.
Distraction in prayer is normal, just make sure you get them done and when you notice you are distracted then try to focus again.

Welcome to the Faith!

Try not to give yourself too hard of a time.  "Rome was not built in a day".  Perfection takes time.

I highly recommend the book "Patience" by Father Lasance:
