The 'Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu' (written by Rupa Gosvami) gives the following as the nine primary activities of bhakti, with the instruction that by following all, or just one, of these activities perfectly the aspiring devotee can achieve pure love of God:
1. Hearing about the Lord -
2. Glorifying the Lord -
3. Remembering the Lord -
4. Serving the lotus feet of the Lord - physical service.
5. Worshiping the Lord - deity worship (puja)
6. Offering prayers to the Lord - any form of prayer offered
7. Serving the Lord -
8. Building a friendship with the Lord -
9. Surrendering everything unto the Lord -
The scriptural source of these nine primary forms of bhakti is a verse in the Bhagavata Purana, spoken by Prahlada:
"Prahlāda Mahārāja said: Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and pastimes of Lord Viṣṇu, remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming His servant, considering the Lord one's best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and words) — these nine processes are accepted as pure devotional service. One who has dedicated his life to the service of Kṛṣṇa through these nine methods should be understood to be the most learned person, for he has acquired complete knowledge."-

One who has dedicated his life to the service of Krsna through these nine methods should be understood to be the most learned person, for he has acquired complete knowledge.]

If you don't know or accept the Vedic concept of Krsna regarding God, then you might be able to replace the name of God you might prefer in the above passage from the most ancient wisdom of the Srimad Bhagavatam.
Nowadays we may have a difficult time advancing past the simple hearing, chanting and remembering the glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
