1. G-d speaks with us all the time.
2. There is nothing & no one else but G-d [AIN OD MILVADO].
3. Therefore, to the extent that we are real with G-d's omnipresence, we will be able to carry on a constant dialogue with G-d.
4. The Holy Baal Shem Tov taught that to the extent that we are real with the fact that G-d is constantly guiding us in every possible way, the more will we truly be guided.
5. G-d speaks to us through thoughts and feelings and life-experience and the Holy words of the Torah and Prophets and our inner Knowing.
6. Years ago, before I ever heard of the book or popular concept called, 'Conversations with G-d', I discovered the power of writing letters to G-d [about anything and everything and at the time about trying to break through seemingly impossible barriers to my making a living] and then having G-d write back [meaning how I think He would reply ] and I kept this correspondence going with the most wondrous of results.
7. One of the messages that G-d sends to us constantly when we learn how to hear it and are ready to really listen, is how to do what each of us is meant to do in life.
8. It's best to receive G-d's messages like a secretary receiving dictation---don't think too much ---just receive.
9. It's also really helpful to ask a complete question and thereby create a vessel to receive G-d's answer [spoken to us in our thoughts and dreams and feelings and in between the lines of what we learn and in the middle of other people's conversations and communicated to us in the highlights of our lives...etc...]
10. It's also really helpful to commit to communicate what is G-d's messages in one way or another to ourselves or others [this is the principle of keeping the cycle flowing].
11. As Jews, we have a long and illustrious history and future of being G-d dialoguers.
Dear Hashem,
I come to you in humility---
Who am I to speak with
The One who spoke
and the world was Created
I come to you in praise---
Praise be the One
To whom all praise is due
I come to you as a sharer
I share with the countless people
That want to speak with you
But don't know how.
I come to you as a servant
I hope to be worthy
to serve you in truth
and to fuse my will with Yours
and to reveal You where you hide
and to convey whatever
You help me to know about you
To your beloved children.
If it finds favor in your Eyes

Thank you Hashem, for all that you do, have done and will do for us.
Thank you Hashem, for opening up our mouths to speak with you.
My suggestion is that after you write or speak out your own G-d dialogue, compose a G-d response---what you think G-d would answer....after that respond to G-d's response [ie...carry out what you've been told by G-d, and report back how it went ], and carry on in this fashion as much as you can---and I'm confident that you will see wonders and blessings fill your lives.....
