I have sought God earnestly too, but have little to show for it. My Christian friend says that my life is clouded in sin and that is why God does not bother with me. I am vexed about this.
Even the best of Christians have sin in their lives, so if your friend believes this is what's keeping you from hearing from God and you are earnestly seeking, then your friend is wrong. You do need to go to God with your heart open to hear from Him. God does want you to rid your life of sin, it is what God wants to save us from so we can have a relationship with Him. Keep your chin up and keep talking to God.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
