Caves don't have doors, they have "mouths."
....great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks...., but the LORD was not in the wind. ....there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. ....a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, ....went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. I Kings 19:11-13
We rarely hear God's voice amidst the clammer and clatter of our lives. It very often takes getting still and discerning the gentle whisper. The psalmist understood this:
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him... Psalm 37:7
Be still, and know that I am God... Psalm 46:10
If you are waiting to hear God thunder His mighty will into your life, you might be waiting a long time. Sometime today, practice stillness. Go to the mouth of the cave and listen.
