Reflection on God's will sometimes does little more than reveal our own wishes. "I just know it's God's will" can be a spiritualized way of saying, "I want this."
What if, instead of talking about "God's will"—which is sometimes mere hopeful speculation—we talked about what God wants? And what if we stopped imagining what God wants and admitted that God has clearly told us what he wants in clear words written down in Scripture.
This is how we must pray "Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10). We are tempted to legitimize our actions in the name of God's will, or to use prayer to convince ourselves that God must want what we want. The pursuit of God's will becomes relative and self-serving when divorced from revelation. But when we pray for God's will to be done we aren't asking for the stars to align with our wishes but for us to actually do what God has told us to do.
