No amount of religious activity will ever bring us clsoe to God. What is needed is the excercising of faith.
But faith is not something which we can make or produce ourselves - it is the gift of God. We receive the faith of God when, with open heart, we hear the Word of God.
The Bible is God's Word to each one of us. This means that as we come to God's Word, to read it or to hear it, we are allowing God to speak to us through His Word. God speaks and our hearts are stirred as, by faith, we hear Him speak into our circumstances, our difficulties, our heartaches.
God knows our every need and as we listen to Him, He will surely meet that need.
We just need to hear Him speaking to us....by faith.
