Romans 12:1-2 - I appeal to you brethren, through the compassions of God, that you make a decisive dedication of your bodies, presenting all your members and faculties as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God. 2 Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold, but let yourselves be transformed and remolded by the renewing of your mind, so that YOU MAY PROVE FOR YOURSELVES what is that GOOD, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD.
Specific Direction May Come Through:

Romans 8:14-16 - For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, they are the sons of God. 15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear or you did not receive the spirit of a slave, to fill you once more with fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption or sonship, in which we cry out My Father, My Dear Father. 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit or the Spirit Himself assures our spirit or the Spirit Himself endorses our inward conviction or the Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are the children of God!
