What does it mean that God speaks to us?
In my experience God speaks to us in many ways. While it might seem easier for there to be a mighty voice from the sky telling us things, it doesn't work that way. God uses the people, things and places around us to tell us things. We have the Bible to guide us and the gift of prayer to be in direct communication. It fascinates me that I can read the same passage 15 times and notice 15 different things. I believe the Holy Spirit guides that process. When it seems as if God is not there I often realize that it’s because I'm not listening. I can't say that's always true, He can communicate through silence as well.
Take the time to listen for his voice. Try to block out your own voice. God is communicating with us, we just need to watch and listen for it.
