God is not helpless and reveals Himself to whoever He wills and whenever He wills, there is no magic formula to hear His voice. All through scripture it is God who initiates the conversation. God calls and chooses those who serve Him. He is sovereign in the affairs of men whether or not we like or recognize it. We do not control situations and circumstances, and we certainly do not control God.
The LORD expects *US* to wait to hear His voice and to seek Him while He may be found.
