Discerning God's will has to come out of a relationship with Him. We need to meditate upon the Word, so that it applies to the heart.
As we seek Him we get immersed in the Spirit. It is not the result of religious activities.

It is about encouraging other people

Gratitude is from God. It is a sign of Wisdom - Be grateful at all times.
