    • Talking to God as a tremendous friend is different from just praying to God as a need or duty. As with a friend, you expect back-and-forth communication by noticing how God answers, helps or teaches you. While prayer may be more of a one-way transaction, talking implies a conversation.

    Why Doesn't God Talk to Me? 5 Reasons You Can't Hear the Voice of God

    You can talk to God out loud or inside your mind, whichever feels most effective to you. Have a talk with God. Talk to God similarly as you would, if a physical person were standing in front of you. You can tell God about casual or hard topics just as you would with a concerned friend. Talk to God about His gifts to you. I pray that she would try to see things from my point of view sometimes.

    And, help me to be patient, listen and understanding to her. Watch for and pay attention to possible feedback. You may not get an audible response like you would, if a friend were physically standing in front of you. But you can receive a response from God in the written word of God or from the sermon of a minister. Tell God that you know that He has His own reasons for His seemingly hands-off response and His timeline -- and so trust Him in that. You may not find what you want when you want it, but He does everything for His reason.

    Try to keep following God's path in good faith in the loving concepts of God and expressing God's goodwill. God does not necessarily contravene or interfere with the behavior of disagreeable parties -- Why? They, having free will as you do, might not follow love, good morals, the purposes of God, nor stop their misconduct that can involve you. Even in dire events one can talk to God, in the darkest day or when you pass through the valley of death. You need not fear, but may cry out to Him while trusting God, come what may.

Ideally, praying to God should occur in a place where you'll be able to tune out distractions during the few minutes it takes to pray. If you can't find a quiet place to pray, don't worry.
