A Need to start Reading the Bible again...
To help one grasp what God is trying to say in your life you must do 5 things (Priscilla used to give a visualization on this: try and hold up the bible with your 5 fingers). Each finger so to speak represents one thing.
1) Indulge yourself in prayer--prepare yourself to be with God, grow a relationship with Him.
2) Study the Word--take good notes, examine it, question it
3) Listen to the Word--from messages or from hymns and songs
4) Memorize Scripture--to keep it close to the heart and mind
5) Practice it--Obedience is the key here. Don't settle for the second best....Settle for the BEST!
