Seeking God includes talking with Him. It is not enough to just talk and ask and command. We must listen. However, when we ask for the correct things, we will also see our hearts and lives change.
how can i know Your will
if i do not ask for knowledge
how can i express Your love
if i do not seek it out first
how can i teach Your Word
if i do not study Him
how can i live my life
if i do not start living for You
how can i live for You
if i do not accept Your Son
Taken from deeper words for God from a simple man of God by daniel m klem, page 158.
Our undevided attention is all He asks. I must say, it is so much easier to be a Mary rather than a Martha as I get farther alone and pray more, study more, and love more.
(To be fair, Martha is a strong worker, too! We need her dedication in working with and for our Lord!)
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
a simple man of God 
How true it is that the longer I have walked Him that in my prayer life I have learned to listen more than I speak. Amen! James
