The validation of one’s Christianity is not based on good works, though there may be many. The certainty of one’s Christianity is not tested by morality, though it may be there. One is a Christian because of a personal, living, active, and amazing relationship with God the Creator of all things. It is just as encompassing physically as it is spiritually.
We spend time and talk with those we love. One of the attributes of any relationship is conversation. The best chat is one of words spoken in prayer. When we have done our part with silent or audible words, God responds. His answer may be a sense of peace in us or an action by Him. Our love of God is evident through daily, sometimes hourly, recognition of this with Him. You can text, write a letter, speak silently, speak out loud, or send an email and He will know you have communicated in prayer.
