You can't work your way into God's presence.
Praying more won't get you there. Giving more won't get you there. Reading the Bible more won't get you there.
Trying to earn access to God's presence is a sure way not to get it.
You know why? Because you are making it about you.
It feels humble and sacrificial, but it is really pride in what you are doing.
So, you don't work your way into God's presence. You choose to enter through Jesus Christ.
The next time you want to approach God, do it boldly. Choose to enter His presence with great assurance that Jesus Christ already earned the right for you to be there.
