SO TRUE James!
Many fail to hear God speaking because they don't take time out to have some one one conversations with God.
It's not to far off, people should ask to speak with God and to have conversations with Him. If asked in earnest, He will grant the request.
I work in an office and have to deal with daily hassles and unbelievers pouring out their wrath upon co-workers and me.
So at lunch i take a break and a deep breath and say, Here i sam Lord, just you and me.
God Bless!
