What is the way to persevere in prayer after returning to abandoning it, especially with the feeling of laziness and procrastination, and the sense of unresponsiveness to the supplication for guidance?

Abandoning prayer is one of the gravest sins and greatest destructive acts; indeed, it is greater than adultery, theft, drinking alcohol, and killing a soul, by consensus. It is also considered disbelief by many scholars. To help maintain prayer, ponder death and the horrors that come after it, and beware of meeting Allah in such a state. Reflect on Hellfire and its punishments. Allah Almighty says: "Then succeeded them a generation who neglected prayers and followed sensual desires. So they will encounter غيًّا (Ghayyan)" [Maryam: 59]. Increase supplication for steadfastness in faith, associate with righteous people, attend remembrance gatherings and knowledge lessons, and stay away from temptations. There is a difference of opinion regarding making up prayers intentionally missed.
