Seeking Help with Finding That Core Love for Allah in My Actions

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I've been Muslim for about a year and a half now. My family wasn't religious, just so you have that background. I've been struggling with something and wanted to see if anyone else has felt this way. Whenever I read about other believers who say their main reason for doing anything is "out of love for Allah," I find it amazing, but I don't really feel it myself. For instance, I pray because the Quran tells us to pray five times a day. I dress modestly (I don't wear hijab yet insha'Allah) because it's prescribed, out of respect for my husband. I try to do good deeds because Allah commands it, and I genuinely want to help people, but that initial thought of "I'm doing this purely for the love of Allah" just doesn't pop up for me. Please don't get me wrong – I fully believe in Allah and in Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and in divine decree. I fast in Ramadan too, but my reasoning is always, "It's written in the Quran." Has anyone else experienced this? Am I missing something, or does this feeling come with more time? Is there anything I can do to help shift my mindset? I already feel a bit anxious just putting this out there, so please be kind. Jazakum Allah u khairan for any advice.
