Most of us are comfortable praying for healing or a new job, but we're comfortable with these prayers because if we don't get what we ask for, then maybe it just wasn't God's will. It gets a little dicier when we start asking God open ended questions, like "What do I do now?" in a really difficult situation. When we do send a prayer like that, we might read the Bible and meditate, but how seriously do we expect an answer?
God wants to talk to us. Moses and Paul both said that they desired all of God's people to prophesy, which is to be a conduit for messages directly from God. But how are we to prophesy if we never hear God's voice?
One of the defining characteristics of Shavuot (aka Pentecost) is direct communication between God and people. I think we can learn something about God's instructions to Israel and the Apostles before this great feast day about preparing ourselves to hear his voice.

Let's start the prep for Shabbat this evening!
Today is day 47 of 50 days to Shavu'ot!

Day 48 of counting the omer. The number 4 symbolizes completeness and stability, representing the four corners of the earth and the four winds of heaven. Meanwhile, the number 8 represents new beginnings and rebirth, as it is the number of days required for a baby to be circumcised in YEHOVAH’S law. The combination of 4 and 8 can also represent the idea of a spiritual journey or cycle, encompassing the completion of one phase and the initiation of a new one. It suggests that individuals must go through cycles of growth and transformation to reach spiritual enlightenment and fulfillment.
