A person may have trust in the holiness of his heart and know that the voice of Hashem is speaking to him. It is an inner voice which is shining the way to his true path. He is not being drawn to ways that are foreign to the Torah - everything to which he will listen will be within the bounds of those things that lead a person to greater love and fear of Hashem and more diligence in Mitzvah observance. It is, however, the time for his to absorb which of the seventy facets of the Torah is appropriate for him at the present moment. What path, what thoughts in the heart that resonate with his inner spirit should he utilize before Hashem.
This does not mean one should only listen and not speak. One should surely share with Hashem all the trials and tribulations of his day. But he is doing so with the intent of giving himself over to Hashem and listening to what he hears. By sharing all with Hashem he realizes that he has nothing truly of his own and that by making himself a vessel for the light of Hashem he will have life and accomplishment.
