[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just talk to God.  Like a friend - every day.  After a few weeks you may have some answers and peace come to you…that’s your answer.[/quote]

I spoke to god every day of my life for 50 years and never  found peace or answers.    That was my answer...I don't believe there was anyone listening and I'm sorry I wasted all that time.

People that "think" they are "talking to god" or that he is talking to them, are just convincing themselves of something that they WANT to be true.   [/quote]

Why was it wasted?  What else would you have done with your time other than try your best to find and know your creator?  You might not have gotten the results you expected but doesn't mean it is wasted (and God certainly wouldn't see it as wasted).  I urge you to continue seeking him.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  And sometimes it is more about listening than speaking.  From book of Kings:  "After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.  After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper."

Even people who experience strong conversions go through long periods of perceived silence from God (google "dark night of the soul").  There is a lot of theological background on this phenomenon but the short of it is, God wants a relationship with you and everything he does or allows to happen is for the purpose of bringing you closer in the long run.
