God will meet with us on His terms and His timetable, not ours. He plays by His own holy rules. We see examples of this in the burning bush, the talking donkey, and the infant Christ in Bethlehem (Exodus 3, Numbers 22:28, Luke 2:1-24). These are not examples where people sought God and found Him, but biblical examples of how God chooses to reveal Himself in whatever manner pleases Him.
