Relationship with God

I have been really trying to boost my quiet time with GOD, and i read my bible and I tell GOD everything that’s on my mind, but it doesnt feel like im getting clear answers back…
like its not like im distracted when i pray, cuz i go somewhere quiet, and I know all my prayers are getting to him…but it just doesnt feel like im getting as much back as im putting in. Or am I missing his reply all together?
And I don’t know where I am as a Christian either because of that, like I feel like I’m ‘doing well’ but I don’t know if I am just rejecting the truth of what GOD is trying to tell me or being fake.
Because i’ve been asking him about what he wants me to do with my life and just generally… it feels like he’s hinting at it with whats going on in my life right now…but why can’t he just flat out say whats going on?!
yeahhhhhh. :]
please pray for me to make my relationship with GOD better and for him to reveal his plan for me

the question you are asking are things we all deal with. In other words, you’re not alone! And they demonstrate spiritual depth and that you’re really seeking God- way to go! In my life, I have stopped asking God huge questions about my future and I’m trying to live day by day, moment by moment, all for him. It’s certainly taken me places I never expected, and places where I feel totally inequipped and incapable, but I’m discovering that that’s what faith is all about.
With regards to prayer, Shane Claiborne says something like:
Prayer isn’t about changing God’s mind to our will. It’s about God changing us to suit his will. Maybe you’re not getting the clear answers you seek, but you may be becoming more of the person God wants you to be in the process…make any sense?
