When seeking solid, scripture-based life advice, a Christian should look to a combination of three primary sources: the inspired, authoritative Word of God itself (2 Timothy 3:16-17), mature, accountable church leadership (shepherds and elders), and trusted, humble Christian mentors who model godly wisdom. Advice must always be tested against the clear teachings of the Bible and should never rely solely on feelings, popular trends, or the counsel of the ungodly (Psalm 1:1).

Recognizing God's will when life is confusing is less about finding a secret map and more about daily faithfulness. God's will is revealed primarily through Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), affirmed by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14), and confirmed by wise counsel and circumstances. The greatest part of God's will is always that we live righteously and love Him with all our hearts (Micah 6:8).
