In today's world, time is what people don't have. Maybe you have five minutes, here and there, but not a regular half hour. And that's what you need to do Lectio Divina, a solid commitment of time. You need a regular commitment. Think of it as piano practice. You can't get better if you don't practice. You can't achieve what you want if you practice sporadically. You won't get where you want doing it half-heartedly. So it is with Lectio Divina.
A formation of your mind and heart is only achieved after you practice, for a long time. So I would commit to Lectio Divina until you have the time. You may have the desire but you need to wait until you have a solid, regular commitment to time.
But don't let the desire wane. I consider lectio divina a necessary component of a spiritual life.
