When seeking to discern the will of God in our lives we should not expect to be receiving visions, hearing audible voices, etc.

I think understanding the will of God begins by fully integrating God's will into every aspect of our lives. This comes from a thorough understanding of the Scriptures, so we can obey what God has already commanded us to do and how to live (praxis), see Proverbs 6:22.

When Fire kindled within
When Heaven caused to understand
The dreadful state of sin

I saw my goals,...
