This is a questions for the ages...and one that God has a lot of interest in?  If God has spoken, why do we continue to ask him to speak?  If he is directing us and we are rebelling, what are we actually looking for?  These are the questions that God through his prophet Jeremiah will answer.

Jeremiah 17:5-6 This is what the Lord says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord. That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;  they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.
