Communication with God: are your fingers in your ears?

Stick your fingers in your ears and say la la la la la la.  What do you hear?

We hear our voices quite well.  Can you hear much else?

I have a friend who said that God is the great Communicator.  If God is the great communicator---what is the problem?

Why can't we hear God?

Is it our problem?  ...is it God's problem?

What is the acceptable way of hearing God?  What are the unacceptable ways of hearing God?

Let me know.
