How to get closer to God?!?

So I grew up going to church and believing in God, but recently I’ve felt very distant from God. I don’t have a personal relationship with him and I know I should but every time I say I’m going to start one I just don’t follow up with that. I feel like I tend to distance myself with the lord because I don’t have a good relationship with my dad so it’s like I guess I’m just trying to protect myself from getting hurt from another male figure in my life. How do I fix this because I want a personal relationship with him.
