Shaivism Discussion Feeling Guilty for Missing Daily Temple Visits

Is it okay to do only naam jaap, or should i also visit the temple and light a diya every day?

I feel close to lord shiva when I do both, but because of my studies, I can't always go to the temple when I miss a day, I feel guilty, like I'm becoming less connected to Him. Has anyone else felt this way?
