Hi MJA ,
To know God's leading one must know God - the better we know God , the better we know His leading .
We know God primarily through embracing The Testimony of Jesus and communing with His Holy Spirit .
Usually , "where" one should be , is further down on the list of priorities , than is , "how" one should be .
Consequently , the best way to sense clearly where one should be physically , is to apply well the clear sense of how we should be spiritually .
This is akin to -
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek ) for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. <-----> Matthew 6:31-33
Sometimes a physical move can work together with our ongoing inner transformation , yet it would be an error to place the spiritual as being dependent on the physical - for it is quite the other way around .
It's good to desire to be close to The Most High , so close that we are perfectly clear of Divine Direction .
But before a loving parent directs their child where to drive , they first make sure that child is clear about how to drive safe + well .
Having a working knowledge of God's Will , as is expressed in Scripture ( Esp. The New Testament ) search within for any areas which could fittingly use some vertical movement ( either raising up of something not valued enough , or putting down of that valued too much ) and then though drawing closer to God , and His declared will ; one is in a better place for His leading to be clearly discerned in other areas , such as the horizontal matter of where to go / be on the apparent plane of this sphere .
I think the passage below is the one referred to earlier , in Jeremiah - ( to me it doesn't imply he doubted , as much as he knew to exercise prudent caution , and waited on The Lord's Verification , before coming to a firm conclusion ).
And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. <-----> Jeremiah 32:6-8

*************************************************************************************
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things;
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. <-----> Act 17:24-28
May The Lord Be Pleased to Bless !
