For what it's worth, Kitty, God can and does pass messages to us even when we AREN'T attempting any "method" of being receptive to Him. That's because He IS God, and can act by His own initiative.
Once in my Navy career, at a time when I was having to live in a dormitory-like barracks, I had my room to myself on an off-duty day. I was lying awake in my bunk, with NO other human being near enough to have spoken the words I heard in the air next to me. An actual audible voice said simply, "Get up!" So, "just in case" that was God issuing the order, I did get up.
All that day, I looked for anything to happen which would prove that there was a reason for me to have gotten up when I did, instead of maybe an hour later. There never was anything I could identify. But when I told a Christian friend about it that evening, he said, "Maybe all God wanted was to see you obeying His voice, even WITHOUT knowing the reason. And you passed the test."
