i love the Word of God.
check this out: Colossians 1:9-12.
it's paul's prayer for the saints and faithful brethren in colosse. he continually prays for them and specifically asks that they will be filled with the knowledge of God's will. you know how many times i've prayed asking for God's will?!? but why does he ask for that?
for this purpose ("so that..."):
they will WALK WORTHY (v.10). simply that they will "please Him in all respects".
and how will they please God?
1. DO: bearing fruit in works (10)
2. KNOW: increasing in knowledge of God (10)
3. BE: strengthened for steadfastness and patience (11)
4. RESPOND: giving thanks for grace (12)
God's will is all about my character! i hope someone is praying that for me.

I am praying for you brother.
That God's will is done through you as you develop into the character of Christ Jesus.
Keep on Keeping on.
