What is the way to make the soul love remembrance (dhikr) and persist in it?

One of the greatest aids to perseverance in dhikr (remembrance of Allah) is for a Muslim to become aware of the reward Allah has prepared for those who remember Him. For Allah the Exalted said: "And the men who remember Allah often and the women who do so - for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward" (Quran 33:35), and He said: "And remember Allah often that you may succeed" (Quran 62:10). Among the other things that help with this are: seeking assistance through du'a (supplication), staying away from places of heedlessness and bad company, allocating a specific time for dhikr, and observing the restricted/prescribed remembrances.
