I prayed and I prayed

I prayed and I prayed and I prayed. It just doesn't work.  I ask for undrstanding, I ask for wisdow, I ask for knowlege.  I ask to get to know god and his son Jesus.  I just doesn't work.  how do I get god to listen to me?  I think I need to get someone else to speak for me.  I see that he listens to others, why not me. Well maybe I have to pay my dues before he will listen to me.  I love you Jesus I love you God please Love me back.
