Jon Courson, a favorite pastor of mine, writes this in his daily devotional for today, "One of my favorite verses in all of the Bible: Draw nigh to God, and He might draw nigh to you. No. Draw nigh to God, and He will sometimes draw nigh to you. No. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. That’s a promise! Don’t let anyone cast aspersions on God’s goodness or nature by saying, ‘I tried to get close to the Lord, but He is just so far from me.’
The Bible says He will draw nigh—always."

One song that I have been beginning my quiet time with is "Draw Me, Lord" by the group Selah.
Isn't it true that our relationship with the Lord is about drawing close to Him. We can do all the "stuff": reading the Bible, giving money, doing ministry, going to church, without worship. That's dry ritualism. Worship is that drawing near to the Lord, earnestly seeking Him, opening our heart to Him, relating to Him.
Draw near to the Lord and He will draw near to You.
