What does the Bible say about seeking the will of God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible emphasizes the importance of seeking God's will for guidance and clarity in our lives (Psalm 86:11).

Psalm 86:11 beautifully expresses the heart of a believer who desires to know the will of God: 'Teach me thy way, O Lord.' This plea indicates a deep longing for divine guidance in the choices we face every day. The Bible teaches that God's will is sovereign and that He accomplishes His eternal purpose in all things (Isaiah 46:9-11). Recognizing this invites believers to earnestly seek God through His Word and Spirit to reveal His plans. Failure to pursue God's will can lead to painful missteps, but His grace often overrules our mistakes for our spiritual good, as noted in Romans 8:28.
