One way God speaks to us is through people. " I provide for you, " he says, as a neighbor shows up with casserole we had no time to cook. " I care for you," he says, through the arms of a friend who seeks to console " I guide you" he says, through a counselor who puts us to God's path.
Another way God speaks to us is through direct leadings of the holy spirit. This third person of the God-head is ready, willing and able to communicate with us. According to scripture, he leads, rebukes, affirms, comforts and assures Christ's followers.
A lot of people, however, don't expect God to speak to them. By their action you would expect that Jesus packed up and went back to heaven forty days after his ressurection and hasn't been heard from since. Through this attitude is common, it does not fit the picture of God painted throughout the scripture.
