Lectures are good as reminders, but for gaining knowledge it is more useful to study in a structured manner. You can attend study circles and nowadays there are many options for online study. See if there is a person of knowledge whose religion and piety you trust and then consider joining a class. But if you only listen to lectures then the information tends to be scattered and more easily forgotten.
Regarding prayer and Qur’an, these are certainly important with regards to growing in one’s deen as they are nourishment for our hearts. If we don’t feel a connection with Allah when praying then we need to review the causes of that and work to improve the quality of our prayers. Likewise if we feel the Qur’an is not affecting our hearts we need to remove the barriers of this. Studying and reflecting over the meanings of the Qur’an is one way to help with this.
So, what is needed is to review yourself: make priorities for the gaps in your knowledge and try to find a structured way to fill those gaps. Reflect on your performance of the obligatory deeds and work on rectifying shortcomings. And once the obligations are tended to, then one can come even closer to Allah by means of the voluntary deeds.
Always remember to ask Allah for His assistance and He will help you.
May Allah grant us tawfeeq to come closer to Him, may He soften our hearts and help us to rectify our errors, Ameen!
