God wants you to hear his voice. Of course God speaks, He is literally the Word! (John 1:1). You were created to hear the voice of God (Romans 8:16). God gave you a spirit so you could talk to His Spirit. You were saved to hear the voice of God (Hebrews 8:10).
What does the voice of God sound like?
1 Kings 19:12 “still small voice.”
Your “silent voice” is your thoughts. God’s voice sounds like your thoughts but from a different source.
