Sometimes people get so caught up in the specifics that they fail the generalities. People are pursuing the will of God for ministry, marriage, and etc. that they end up neglecting some of the weightier matters.
Jesus told Martha that ONE THING was needful: to sit at His feet and learn from Him.
I think we need only pursue God Himself, and not His will, and so, wherever He is, we will be there, too. His will is wherever He is, so, when we get to Him, His will will be present, also.

In a nutshell, what you wrote there is really it. When one focuses on getting as close to Jesus as possible minute by minute throughout the day He will honor that by providing what you need and show you His will for you.
When I first found God and got in church I remember my Pastor telling me something that will always stick with me. Like most I stumbled a little when I first started living for Him and it bothered me tremendously. One day on the front porch of the Pastor's house he told me, "live a victorious life by not sinning day by day, if that is a challenge do it hour by hour, if you have to do it minute by minute."
It was like a light went on and I realized I had to literally talk to Jesus minute by minute to get victory. That's what I did and it changed my life. That is how I started my personal relationship with Jesus. It was a revelation and I was so glad my Pastor said that to me that day because it made me realize the mind is where the battle is on a daily basis but thru simply giving our mind to thinking on Him we can have the victory everyday.
