"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
Psalm 119:105 (NKJV)
Normally when you are driving from one place to another, you have an idea of where you are going. You may have checked a map to see the route you need to take, and you might use some GPS type system to help guide you along your way. But once you do that, there is no question of if the place you are traveling to exists and, unless something unusual is going on, you would not be concerned if you are going to make it to your destination, because once your course is set you are no longer concerned about the trip, you are just traveling to your destination.
Christians are often not sure what God's will is for their life in general, and sometimes they have specific questions about some certain direction in their life, or how to do something. That is one part of the process of being led by the Holy Spirit and doing the will of God. But there is another element in this that many Christians struggle with, and that is having peace on the path they are on in the will of God. We can have confidence as we trust God to direct us, and we never have to worry that God will let us down as we follow Him.
As Psalm 119:105 tells us, God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. We can always find the general will of God for our life in God's Word, and the Holy Spirit will also lead us into the will God for our life. But once we know the direction God wants us to go, we need to stop being anxious about what to do and just do it. When we know the will of God for our life, we can have peace knowing that God is with us and that He will help us on our way. God wants us to have peace on our path in life and in doing His will.
