When I was a teen, we talked about knowing the will of God for our lives. It seemed to be something we had to figure out. Yet the Bible clearly defines what the will of God is. Here are two. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Proud folks are not thankful. 

1 Thessalonians 3:3 says, “For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality.” In Matthew 15:19 there is a list of things that proceed out of our heart.

Also James 1:18 says, “Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.” 2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
