The majority of the time you must seek/ask for divine guidance. The Lord provides many ways to guide you - through prophets, warnings, signs, nature, chastenings, angels/messengers, temples/mountains, divine tools(scriptures, gifts, visions, prayer) and above all, the Spirit. All divine guidance takes a sincere heart, meekness, a willingness to obey(otherwise, why would He trust you with His guidance?), repentance, etc. All of these are the same efforts you make to become more like Christ. The rewards for having faith in His guidance is the inheritance of His kingdom with its accompanying blessings and eternal life. He brings peace and rest to your sou, making you like an eternal spring/watered garden with the fruits of patience and love - you will be like Christ - an ultimate reward in itself.
