I start my day off every day with quiet time before the Lord, time reading the Word, a devotional or two, prayer, and if I have time, some worship time too. I have found this quiet time every morning before others are up and stirring to be the best way to focus my thoughts on Him before the day starts. I would say this time with the Lord is the sweetest and best part of my day.
So for me, cultivating a lasting and wonderful intimacy with the Lord involves taking the time to spend with Him each and every day. I don't see how you can have a relationship with the Lord (or with anyone else) if you are not spending meaningful, one-on-one time with each other.
