That is not correct. For instance, there is the principle (let’s call it Prov 3:6, “...in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”, i.e., the scripture and the Holy Spirit); and then, there is a subset of that principle (the actual, particular, guidance, e.g. “Father, it is raining very hard, in sheets. Should I take the freeway ahead, or stay on surface streets?”, i.e., the specific instructions aspect) That is where learning to hear the voice of the Lord looms very large (as little Samuel had to; and as some say is not possible today because it has ceased). Because in praying that way, even “on-the-fly”, I am acknowledging His higher thoughts and ways and asking to be let in on enough of it to be of very down-to-earth, practical value — particular wisdom in an enigmatic situation, where I in my own devices might choose wrongly.
And, since we know He is there, and since He encourages us to ask, and He cares what happens to us, why not? Plus, it’s exhilarating and fascinating to communicate with God and to hear from Him. It’s addictive, in fact. But it does require some practice (Hebrews 5:14, for instance, speaks to this).
Why do one needs driving lessons from God? Isn't it enough to trust God to lead you in whatever path you choose knowing that whatever happens, for good or for ill, God is going to work it all out for your good?

This is a form of Gnosticism, those who believe they are more in tuned with "the voice of the Lord" than others-reaching for a higher level of knowledge. "It's exhilarating." "It's fascinating to communicate with God." I mean this kindly but this is poppycock.
Truth is our Lord Jesus has revealed everything we need for a holy life to everybody in His scriptures. We simply need to pray the Holy Spirit will open our eyes and hearts to hear His calling and be obedient to His will. Command what you will and may He grant to us the power to do what He so commands. We trust that He will do the rest for our benefit-good or ill-to make us perfect and complete in His Son to the praise of His glorious name.
