Likewise, I have found this attitude common when it comes to living the Gospel. We become casual with our worship and our personal fire begins to slow. It is easy to take something for granted when it is something we become accustomed to. But we cannot become casual nor should we forget that it is the small and simple things that matter most! Saying a prayer, but not putting any thought or feelings behind it. Reading your scriptures just to say you read them, but not getting a single thing out of them. These things are still good, but without that fire behind them, they are hollow.
Something I have stressed with my new companion is trying to be exactly obedient to the missionary rules. Plain and simple right? But it is by these simple things that we receive great blessings as missionaries. Spencer W. Kimball, who was a former president of the church, once said "The day obedience becomes a quest and not an irritation is the day you gain power." When we master doing the little things because we want to do them, we will be blessed beyond comprehension.
If you have lost the fire, get it back. If your fire is dwindling, put more wood on it! Build up your fire until it is an inferno!
