Spiritual Discipline
It's important to set time aside where you're focused on nothing but God. If you stop talking to a friend and don't set time aside to be with them, your connection and relationship with them will weaken. It's the same with God. If you don't spend time with him, your connection will not be as strong. It'll still be there, just not as strong as it would've been if you make the time and effort to be with him.
Some recommendations to get your focus on God is to put away any distractions that may take your focus away from God. That includes any music, people, television, so that you can devote your full attention to God.
One way of spiritual discipline is to fast. You could use the time that you'd usually spend eating to pray and be alone with God and in His word. But fasting isn't limited to only food. You could choose to fast from sexual pleasures, electronics, shopping and hobbies, or something else you enjoy. Fasting allows us to be able to put our trust in God for Him to fulfill the needs for our earthly desires.
Praying is probably one of the easiest ways to be and stay connected to God. Praying is simple and only takes a few minutes, if even that. You can pray whenever you have free time, even if it's in the car, or sitting at work at school, or while you're getting ready in the morning. Praying is important in helping you stay connected with God.
Matthew 6:6
"But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to
your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will
reward you"
