Romans 10:17
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."
EARTHLY RULES DO NOT ALWAYS APPLY IN THE HEAVENLY REALM!
SOMETIMES, IN ORDER TO BE HEARD IN HEAVEN, WE MUST SPEAK WITH OUR EARS!
GOD IS NOT IMPRESSED WITH OUR MANY WORDS, BUT WITH HOW MUCH WE REALLY LISTEN TO HIS ANSWERS AFTER WE HAVE ASKED OUR QUESTIONS!
All this to say:
"NO ONE LIKES A ONE-SIDED CONVERSATION, NOT EVEN GOD!"
"CONVERSATION INVOLVES PARTICIPATION FROM ALL PARTIES, OR ELSE, IT MAY AS WELL BE A SPEECH!"
TALK 'WITH' GOD, NOT 'TO' GOD!

The word "listen" is listed 723 times in the Bible. The word "Hear" 952 times. God gave us two ears but only one mouth. So we should listen twice as much as we speak! Still working on it. Thanks, brother.
I was just going to ask where in the Scriptures does this come from? But the commentator summed it up... Amen.
