How do I know I am doing the will of God?
Let me share my process in case it can help you.
I am a big believer in affirmations.
I jot down single sentence statements.
These statements are goals I want to accomplish in these areas:
-Mental health
-Physical health
-Spiritual health
-Career
-Relationships
-Hobbies
-Finances
Here is where I bring in my Centering Prayer practice.
I read them before each sit.
Then let them go to God.
During Centering Prayer God prays in me the actions I am to take.
I trust God.
I then get up from my sit and partner with God on these items.
Let me also share my barometer of what should stay as an affirmation.
-It must excite me.
-It is allowed to be outside of my comfort zone. That is how I grow.
-I have an inner peace about it.
-It does not harm me or others.
As long as it passes my barometer I take action.
I also tweak my affirmations or remove them if they do not pass my barometer.
I do this whenever needed.
Clarity comes with action.
I only need to know the next step.
The path will become clear as I keep taking action.
Centering Prayer is vital to this whole process!
I constantly connect to my true self during my sits.
This is a true self journey with no end point.

Sacred Spaces: Contemplation and the Celtic Spirit
I found the best way to listen to this primer on Celtic Christianity was while I took my daily walk.
Three of the sections deal with the work of ancient and medieval spiritual teachers.
I particularly liked this retreat because a whole section was devoted to the Cloud of Unknowing. Centering Prayer is dear to my heart!
This course is very reasonably priced for the LARGE volume of information it shares: 30 videos, PDF attachments and links to resources.
I encourage you to check out this wonderful course by Justin Coutts.
