Many people seek to know God's will for their lives, but they are looking for it outside of the Bible. They disregard God's will that has been revealed in the Bible.
A young man who attended our church asked me how he could know if it was God's will for him to take a job in Brazil. He did not attend the weekly Bible studies and prayer meetings. I told him I had no idea about the job in Brazil, but it was certainly God's will that he participate in the Bible studies and prayer meetings.
There are hundreds of commands in the New Testament for saved people.
Psalm 119:96B KJV
[96] thy commandment is exceeding broad.
Know the commandments and you will know God's will for your life. These are the things He cares about.
Other things? He may not care at all. A parent tells their young child they may eat one scoop of ice cream. The parent does not care which flavor. But they do care if the child eats more than one scoop.
