The idea the God talks back to us when we pray has become so accepted that it's difficult to challenge, but is it true or a cliché?
Any argument based on what was typical of life in the garden of Eden is flawed in proposing a norm for the intermediate time between the expulsion of man and the Eschaton. And if the OT records a number of occasions when God worked in extraordinary ways, one must remember the purpose and setting of those writings: It is primarily a record of God's extraordinary dealings with a small particular people in a broad world. That extraordinary events occur at a high rate should be unsurprising and should not be taken as normative or a pattern for the ordinary workings of God.

The Holy Spirit is here to guide us, and I believe that when we pray, when we show faith through prayer, we do receive answers, in some form or another. My opinion, fwiw.
Does your poll need more choices? I would like
to vote that it seems to me that God has spoken to me audibly, in times
of prayer, and through my spirit softly and warningly. You used the word
"all" which makes it hard to choose on your poll as it has never been always
in prayer nor every time I pray that I know of.

calling.

Yes, I'm a lady. God called me and confirmed it to me many
times over the years very strongly.
A true worshipper shall worship God in the Spirit.
