God has promised us His infinite Self: the very culmination and consummation of every deep desire we have ever had.
God's ways are the patterns of Himself in action, doing the kinds of things, small and great, that He is inclined to do.
So don't make prayer your god and don't even  make praise ✋ ✋ your god, but rather make your prayer 🙏 and your praise UNTO your GOD.
A vital, vibrant relationship with this God will impact all our other relationships sooner or later.
We are to praise and pray to this our God continually. To do anything continually though means we must have first, somewhere sometime, begun to do it.
And to then go on and out and proclaim God's word doesn't mean we must fully understand it, just understand enough to tell it, and in the telling of it we will progressively come to grasp and understand it better.

For example, it was a borrowed tomb that Jesus was buried in because he was too poor to own one, but also too divine to need one for long, because he was going to vacate it in less than three days! He borrowed it briefly, then happily, no joyously,  returned it in a better condition than he found it. As the Messiah, which means anointed one, he was too slippery for death to hold, especially when he had no handle. Sin is the handle by which death can hold us, and we know that Jesus the Messiah had no sin, so death couldn't get a grip on him.
It was as if in regard to Jesus the devil yelled at death, "Get a grip!!" And death answered desperately, despairingly, "I can't find his handle! And he's so slippery!"
That's easy, death, it's because he has none. And neither will we ultimately.
