Seek the Presence of God, our Father in Heaven, and daily get alone in secret with Him.
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Deuteronomy 4:29
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:6

Brethren, walking with God is not a burden, but a blessing.
For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. Deuteronomy 2:7
Matthew 11:28  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

It is a daily place of renewal, a place where your spirit is restored by His Spirit, a place where stress and the feelings of discouragement are removed and replaced by abounding peace and joy.
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

To go a day without being renewed by the refreshing Presence of The Father's Spirit is like unto going a day without sleep or rest. On the following day after going without a night of rest you are going to be physically exhausted and tired.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16

In God's Presence is where you will find rest for your souls.
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Jeremiah 6:16

By skipping a day with God, your soul will become exhausted and tired.
śMy soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. Job 10:1
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. Jeremiah 31:25

This state of being is called discouragement and defeat.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5
