Regarding Prophets

Not everyone on earth heard individual Prophets of old. Only God has that power for all to see and all to hear. So I am wondering since we are each different in making up the body of Christ could there not be Prophets that well may be within hearing range but that some of us do not have ears to hear?
I am asking from experience sometimes I have heard and understood a Prophet and sometimes in attempting to try to hear it has left me desolate, afraid and shrinking from God. In those cases I am not sure that, that would mean the Prophet is not true, could it not mean that the words are not mine to hear?
Are we not all in a different place on our narrow roads?

Just wondering and would love your thoughts.

Be loved you are. Love now tomorrow is not promised
