Hearing God's voice

I want to hear God's voice but I feel like I will never be able to distinguish. I cannot simply follow my own thoughts cause then I will be misled by my own thoughts or the thoughts of the enemy. Christians say that they simply pray to God and tell him that they only want to hear his thoughts. But this means that every thought you get from then on has to be from God! This would mean you have to obey whatever thought to you get and this is dangerous. Often I have thoughts which might be from God but most likely they are not. They are from myself and I cannot follow every thought I have and become a slave to my own thoughts. I have already had bible verses in my mind and when i wanted to look them up they did not even exist. This is how my own thoughts fool me and I really have no clue how to distinguish between my and God's thoughts. If God's voice is just like my own thoughts then how is this ever supposed to work? I have so many thoughts which might be from God but they are not, they are my own. I have to be sure that it's God otherwise I cannot follow the thought. I cannot allow this cause I would become a slave to myself. I would have thoughts all day which tell me to do things and I would have to do them.
