You can pray to God the Father, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit, as they are one God, but the common practice in Christianity is to pray to God the Father through Jesus Christ (the Son) and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, acknowledging Jesus as the mediator who provides access to God.

It's an ongoing process of intimacy with God, relying on the Holy Spirit to make His Word relevant and guide you, differentiating His voice from self, fear, or other influences.

God might not seem to be talking to you because you're not listening in the right way, are too busy, struggling with sin, or have unrealistic expectations, but many believe God speaks through scripture, nature, other people, or quiet impressions, requiring an open heart and consistent time to hear, even if it's not a booming voice.
