In this November 1991 address from the Ensign, Elder Graham W. Doxey reminds readers that the Lord continues to speak, but those who are expecting spectacular signs may miss the messages.
"Dramatic and miraculous answers to prayer may come, but they are the exceptions. Even at the highest levels of responsibility in this kingdom of God, which is being built up upon the earth, the voice is still small," says Elder Doxey.
Elder Doxey explains that some people mistakenly think God is not aware of them or does not care because they do not take the time to listen for his voice.
"The questions are not 'Does God live? Does God love me? Does God speak to me?' The critical question is, 'Are you listening to him?' Have you removed your shoes? It is the same for you as it was for Elijah, as it is with the modern-day prophets: 'The still, small voice is still small,'" he says.
