There is something about grace which we forget. Grace is divine enablement to do what we should be doing. This implies obedience. One thing we often forget is that grace only powers you while you are obeying. The decision to seek God or obey him is for you to make first. The power to carry that decision is given by God.
So when seeking God's will on something, you need to get the ball rolling even if it means picking up the ball. Every step, seek God's confirmation that He is wanting you to be doing this (I guess this is where signs can come in?) How far that ball rolls could probably help you determine whether it is God's will. (This all presumes that you can clearly see that what you are doing is in obedience to Him). WOuld God show you a sign that you are walking in the right direction when you are seeking to obey him? Think about it. Why wouldnt He? He delights in our obedience. God created the world and what is all that power going to be used for if not for encouraging his people to obey Him? So His divine enablement is correlated to the level of conformity your decision has to God's priorities.
So another connection drawn. God's grace, His divine enablement, is how God shows us His will. If Grace is the superpower to do what God wants you to do, then seeking God's will is finding out what God wants you to do. When you have power to do it, grace is helping you find God's will.. think that makes sense..
