But how do we turn to God? Here we have the biblical advice: "He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."Heb. 11:6;

So, turning to God means acknowledging Him. It also means listening to Him—listening for His revelation of Himself and of our true, spiritual selfhood, which is embraced in Him.
