The subject of God's will is often one of great concern to growing Christians. Those who have accepted the forgiving grace of Jesus now have a desire to live a life which brings Him glory and honor, much of God's will is found directly in His Word. 

It's God's will that we live a pure and holy life 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7, and obey His commands John 15:10. It's God's will that we love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength Mark 12:30, that we remain in Him and bear much fruit John 15:1-8, that we forgive others Matthew 6:14-15, love others 1 John 4:7, and share the message of Jesus with others Matthew 28:19-20. It's also God's will to "be joyful always; pray continuously; {and} give thanks in all circumstances" 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

A good sampling of what is referred to as God's "general" will - His will for all His children as we are "conformed to the likeness of His Son" Romans 8:29. God's general will involves a lifetime of worship and abiding in His presence. We need to pray for guidance and strength in following His will as revealed in His Word.

God may also direct us in very specific ways. He may do this slowly through circumstances or people, or by way of a direct, clear, and persistent call.  There are vast portions of God's will which are already revealed in His Word. We need to develop the discipline of reading and studying His Word - studying His will - and then follow what He has already commanded.
