Talk to HaSh-m EVERY day. Not just the prescribed 3 tefilos.
Take at least 30-60 minutes every day to TALK to HaSh-m the way you would talk to your very best friend.
Thank Him for what you have. Ask Him for what you need. Talk to Him about everything that is on your mind, the happy things, and the troubling things.
This is what HaSh-m craves from us more than anything, – for us to be close to Him.
“Karov HaSh-m le’kol korav, le’kol asher yikra’uhu be’emet.
HaSh-m is close to those who are close to Him, to those who speak to Him from the heart on a regular basis.
Who would YOU be more likely to go out of your way to do something for? Your close friend, whom you speak to every day, or someone who only approaches you when he wants something from you?
