I realise one thing that lets christans actually 'run to the lord'. That is an encounter with God. For example, Abraham encountered God before he left his country and went on to the land God will show him(Gen 12:1). Moses encountered God(the burning bush) b4 he led de Israelited out of Egypt(Exodus 3). If there's one thing christians need b4 'running to the lord' is going deep in his love.
Personally, I have encountered the Lord last yr in de Encounter and that 2 days 1 night was the starting point 4 my new journey to serve the Lord. Last yr(end of yr), I shared de gospel in class becuz i wanted to serve de Lord. Now, de prayer pointers also becuz i wanna serve de lord and 'run to him'. But all that starts with an encounter with God, filling yourself to the fullest with his love.
Ask 4 a breakthrough in ur relationship, becuz b4 i went 4 de encounter session, me and my cell grp ldr was praying 4 a breakthru in de relationship between me and God and de prayer was answered in de encounter weekend.
