Answer

This life is a one-time opportunity to achieve everlasting happiness in the life hereafter. Allah Almighty is showering countless blessings upon us everyday. Every moment has a great potential to achieve high-ranks in the court of our Creator. Every minute is like a gold coin. The heart and tongue are gifts from Allah to earn millions of rewards (Hasanaat) for the Akhirah.

Daily reading a book of good deeds helps in this situation. You may print a chapter of Muntakhab Ahadith (http://www.islameasy.org/quick_books.php) and read with your family for 10 minutes together. then make Dua.

Salaatul Haajah:
-----------------------
It is narrated by Abdullah bin Obi owfaa RA that the Messenger of Allah said "Whoever has a need from Allah, or in relation to man, he should perform wudu in a complete and beautiful way, then offer 2 rakaahs of salah. He should then praise Allah and send Salawaat (durood) upon Nabi
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and then say:

"Laa ilaaha illallaahul haleemul kareem-subhaanallahi rabbil arshil azeem-wal hamdulilaahi rabbil aalameen -as aluka moojibaati rahmatik-wa azaaima maghfiratik-wal ghaneemata min kulli birr- was salaamati min kulli
ithm- laa tada' lanaa dhamban illaa ghafartah-walaa hamman illaa farrajtah-walaa haajatan hiya laka ridan illaa qadaytahaa -yaa arhamar rawhimeen" (Ibne Maajah-Tirmizi)

We learn from the Quraan and Sunnah that we should engage in Salaah for all our needs. The best time of offering optional prayers is in the last portion of the night, when the entire creation is in sleep and in a state
of neglect, this is a great time to earn the help and pleasure of Allah.
If one is unable to do this, he/she may offer Salaah at any other time,(aside from the makrooh times)

You can also recite Rabbi Zidni Ilma many times everyday.
