The best way to know God’s will is to be familiar with the Bible.
Will of God
Antoinette Goetschius
When I am sore beset, I seek some quiet place,Some lonely room or barren windswept ill, And there in silence wait apart until I see again the smile upon God’s face; Until His presence floods me like the dawn, And I can hear His whispered, Peace, be still, And know the strength to do His will.I turn to take my load and find it gone.
Gene Edwards
Gethsemane is simply that hour when you finally align your will with the will of God. It is when you agree, accept, embrace…your crucifixion. Any human daring to follow a divine path will come upon a Gethsemane. Each will tarry there until he realigns his will with divinity, or he will completely miss the divine way of things. Acquiescence to destruction. That is Gethsemane.
Vernon Paterson
There are always uncertainties ahead, but there is always one certainty–God’s will is good.
George Macdonald
What God may hereafter require of you, you must not give yourself the least trouble about. Everything He gives you to do, you must do as well as ever you can, and that is the best possible preparation for what He may want you to do next. If people would but do what they have to do, they would always find themselves ready for what came next.
Cathy Lechner
There are things God wants you to do, and you are a split-second decision away from either walking into the will of God or shrinking back in fear.
Ole Kristian O. Hallesby
Notice carefully every word here. It is not our prayer which draws Jesus into our hearts. Nor is it our prayer which moves Jesus to come in to us. All He needs is access. He enters in of His own accord, because He desires to come in. To pray is nothing more involved than to let Jesus into our needs, and permitting Him to exercise His own power in dealing with them. And that requires no strength. It is only a question of our wills. Will we give Jesus access to our needs?.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Somewhere in this trial His will must be hidden, and you must accept His will whether known or unknown…Say “Thy will be done!” again and again. Shut out every thought but the one thought of submission to His will and of trust in His love.

The more intimate our relationship with Christ, the more we will understand the will of God and the more power we will have to act on it.
Eric Liddell
Obedience to God’s Will is the secret of spiritual knowledge and insight. It is not willingness to know, but willingness to do God’s Will that brings certainty.
