I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Psalm 32:8

I SEEK AT THE BEGINNING
to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of
its own in regard to a given matter. Nine-tenths of the
trouble with people is just here. Nine-tenths of the
difficulties are overcome when our hearts are ready to
do the Lord's will, whatever it may be. When one is
truly in this state, it is usually but a little way to
the knowledge of what His will is.

"It
is very instructive and helpful to see the way in which Mr. Muller
proved the acceptable will of the Lord, when exercised in heart
about the enlargement of the Orphan work, so that not only 300 but
1000 Orphans might be provided for."

The Perfect Will of God for You
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2
What is the most important thing that God wants from you? The most important thing that God wants from you is to believe in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Believing in Christ unto Eternal Life
And
this is the will of Him who
sent Me, that everyone
who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will
raise him up at the last day. John 6:40
The second most important thing that God wants from you is to conform you to the image of His Son. He wants to make you like His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The second most important thing is your sanctification:
Your Sanctification
For
this is the will of God,
your sanctification... 1 Thess. 4:3
Also God wants you to be thankful and not forget all His benefits:
Being Thankful
In everything give thanks;
for this is the will of God in
Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thess. 5:18
God also wants you to be a good steward in your vocation; for you glorify God when you have a good testimony at your work:
Being Good Stewards in Your Vocation
Not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as
bondservants of Christ,
doing the will of God from the
heart.
Eph. 6:6
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
Sometimes mid
scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, over troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
Lord, I
would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.
And when my
task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
He leadeth me, He
leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
