There is no magic way to be in touch with the Divine. We must want to do this. We must learn to be still and not expect instant success. We must want to change. We must want to release our burdens and to trust that we will be cared for. We must learn to love ourselves enough to put aside the time to commune with the Divine. There is no other way. It is immensely important to remind ourselves that it is all a journey. We don't have to rush to “get there.” It is okay that you haven't initiated changes earlier in certain areas of your life. We must learn to be loving and compassionate with ourselves. It is also very important to remember that we are human. Do you think I do not miss a day of my “quiet time”? Of course, I do. However, I have found that as long as I commit myself to getting started on listening for that quiet voice within, I will remember how I feel when I do it. Then, when distractions cause me to miss some of those precious quiet moments, I will always go back to it.
 
Messages that come during these times are not in a “loud booming voice”. The messages come in different ways, many through something you read in a book or a conversation that helped you remember that this was what you had prayed about or what you desperately needed. Others come in a fleeting thought. Those who struggle with their addictions may find it difficult to stick with a “quiet time” practice because of the need for instant gratification. But don't abandon this practice because once you have overcome that part of your nature, you will have acquired the gift of patience and trust.
 
Many of my answers come as random flashes of intuition rather than during my quiet time. Or, they come when I am having a difficult day, paving the way for reassurance. It has taken me a lot of years to recognize when the universe is sending me the message, so stick with your “quiet times” and trust that you will be given what you need at the perfect time. It is faith in action. There are no “quick fixes”. There is a process of first understanding what you need to change, have a willingness to change it, asking for divine guidance, and finally taking action to bring it forth.
 
What a wonderful way to live our lives! We are never alone. If we will take the time to ask for help and take the time to listen, we will receive ways to enrich our lives.
