The pursuit of God's will is first and foremost a pursuit of God Himself. To seek God's will and not God will result in confusion. All our efforts at seeking God are only a response to His working in our life.
God saved Augustine of Hippo, a great church leader of the fourth century, out of a life of great shame. He also placed in him a passion for Himself that led to a life of great usefulness.
May Augustine's prayer be your own: "O Lord, grant that I may desire Thee, and desiring Thee, seek Thee, and seeking Thee, find Thee, and finding Thee, be satisfied with Thee forever."
