Good people want to see justice established and they know there are selfish evil people who don't care for justice and want to rule people. They want help the poor, help the oppressed, feed the hungry, and stop corruption. They wish to judge disputes with justice, appoint just people to judge affairs of people, etc.
As for the best of his servants, they are most aware of the wisdom and guidance and goodness, and want people to follow it. It's not that they want control or authority, that's not their desire, they rather wish to demonstrate the shinning path of God and establish his justice, and bring people from the darkness in the light. They see people following vice and falsehood, and wish for them to follow virtue and truth.
As for God, he is manifest through his light, and his light manifest the divine names and his grace. His guidance is the guidance, and just as we expect the best friends of God to share their wisdom, we can expect God to establish the truth with his words and provide a guidance from him.
God doesn't need your service but it's an injustice to yourself if you don't wish to serve him. We are linked to him and belong to him and he is worthy to be worshiped and served. Serving him honors us, but our service should be for his pleasure. He is not in need of us while we are in need of him.
You not wanting to serve him then why do you want him to speak to you? As the prayer shows, the veils of light can be penetrated, we can be thunderstruck by his majesty, and he can whisper to us secretly while we work for him openly. But you should want to work for him openly if you want him to whisper to you secretly.
