2nd Samuel 7:18
Turn off all the media in your home for an hour. For 1 hour fast from food, drink, phone. Let your kids know they will observe 1 hour of silence too. Set a clock for them.
Be quiet, be still, and just listen for the Holy Spirit. Tell him you are there just for Him. You can sing a song of praise. I like 'Room at the Cross'. I happen to know the Holy Spirit likes that song. I have it scribbled on a shred of paper. Just be quiet, breathe in and out; close your eyes and listen. Anything can happen: He May sing too. He may give a scripture or speak a single word. Look them up by Bible concordance later.
Depending on your home: you may have to sit in the closet. (Hint) First make it habitable for prayer time. Don't use candles. I find if I pray lying down, I get sleepy. Just an hour of quiet time will calm you and give you peace. You can go there as often as you desire.
The noise of every day life shreds our peace. We can't hear God over the racket. I find this way easier to enter into a spirit of quietness. If I look at nature outside I can be distracted by beauty and hear birdsong, instead of Holy Spirit's voice.
See what works for you. King David often sat with watchmen or in his home; just waiting and listening for God. He was a man after Gods own heart.
