Psalm 5: is He listening? are we listening?

(picture is from google.com/images/prayer)

i find that this Psalm is talking about man communicating to God. it says "listen to my words...in the morning you hear my voice....listen to my cry."

Communication is defined as this, the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, orinformation by speech, writing, etc.

man has been in constant communication with God.
we can find dozens of examples with God talking to His children. back to back conversations.

but.
i believe we are quick to pray about the things we want God to do for us and when they don't happen we get angry because we believe He wasn't listening. but when was the last time we found time to just simply quiet everything around us. when was the last time we just turned off the cell phone, turned off the music, and sat in silence. just simply listening to what He has to say to us.

the reality is; most of the time we aren't even listening for God to answer.
we are keen on talking when we have requests but we aren't keen on listening for his reply. 

we should be in pursuit of a relationship with Him, so that we not only want to go with him with questions but that we would go to Him find answers. even when it's not the things we want to hear.

so listen to His voice.
