If You Cry, May They Be Happy Tears!
עֲבוֹדַת הַתְפָּלָה הִיא הַמְּבִיאָה הַשָּׂגַת הַמּוֹחַ בְּהַרְגָּשַׁת הַלֵּב, וּשְׁנֵיהֶם יַחַד בָּעֲבוֹדָה בְּפֹעַל הַמַּצּוֹת בְּיִרְאַת שָׁמַיִם וַקְנִין מִדּוֹת טוֹבוֹת.
It is the avoda of davening which brings the comprehension of the brain into the emotional sensitivity of the heart - and (also brings) both of them together into the practical avoda of performing mitzvot with fear-of-Heaven and acquiring fine character-traits.
Start your day with sincere and concentrated prayer.
And though due to all the worries of life, it may not succeed every day to fully focus your soul and heart on HaShem, and feel the contact you desire. Is it worth the effort.
Because on the days when you do succeed, and your heart cries in joy because it feels the connection and closeness of HaShem, are extra precious.
And makes it worth trying again the following day.
