Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much

I woke up with a thought, dont really have a cool way of saying it, so i will just have to explain...I talk to God a lot, sometimes asking for things, sometimes thanking him, sometimes moaning about things, sometimes telling Him how great He is, sometimes offloading all my problems, sometimes pouring out feelings - the list is quite endless... but heres the lightbulb: i dont always give Him a chance to talk back. Prayer to me is a conversation with my Heavenly Father in the name of His Son Jesus that mostly comes by the ushering of the Holy Spirit. But in a conversation, there needs to be two people talking right. so why is it that sometimes i go on like my voice is the only one that needs to be heard when i pray? why do i talk so much and let him know my point of view but not pause to hear His? why do i open my eyes or get up as soon as ive said amen? why do i break the silence of my quiet time with music -albeit gospel? why do i ask hundreds of questions without always being patient enough to hear the answers? the times ive heard God speak are the times iv actually shut my mouth and let him. Think i should do more of that. As the Greek philosopher Epictetus said: "We have two ears and one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we speak."

Peace
