Well, I like to have a heart to heart discussion with Hashem. Best time to do it is alone. Close the doors and just basically tell Hashem exactly what is on your mind. Let Him know all your hopes and fears. Things you want to improve on in your Midos. Hashem sent us to this world to improve ourselves. He knows we can’t be perfect. He just wants us to try and the rest will follow.
I want to tell you a story of something that happened to me. A few years ago, I was really into reading Tehillim. I told Hashem, I could just read all your praises day and night if I just had the time and not have to worry about the housework and the cleaning. Do you want to know what happened?? The cleaning lady who I had to let go a few months earlier,because finances would not permit(she wanted more money), came back and asked if I needed her back. Hashem actually sent someone to me, so I could read Tehillim full time. Unfortunately, my emunah is weak and I told her no. My point is, when you come to Hashem and you mean what you say, truly from your heart and soul, especially in a an area you want to improve in, Hashem will surely listen to you and send you the help you need.
Good luck in all you do and Tizku l’shanim rabot!!
