Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Hear Him.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therin, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 1:25
The Hebrew word for "hear" is shama. Which is translated~to hear intelligently with an implication of attention and obedience. To obey and to be obedient are included in the meanings. So hearing isn't just hearing~hearing means taking action and obeying what you heard. Father, help us to truly hear (shama) Your instructions.
