Those who are passive about the devotional life are not able to flex the muscle of faith, and they tend to become Christians who cling to the familiar.
Faith is about what God can and will do, in spite of the way things appear.
Faith is about waiting for something that is completely out of the corners of your imagination.
Faith is about agreeing with the one who is Omniscient, Omnipresent , Infinitely creative, is the Eternal I AM and dies for you.
The only other thing is to cling to the familiar and refuse His way and His Love. The familiar has no New Life. The familiar has a gravitational pull away from the frontier of faith.
You don't have to make yourself into anything. Just agree with Him who is your All in All.
