I believe scripture itself says God's will is impossible to understand, and that which we know of it is only what he has revealed to us. For example, Deut. 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.
Often God takes the worst in our life and makes it the best, look at the story of Jacob and Esau. Remember, God has sight of the whole picture.
I don't agree that we should micromanage every single little thing we do, but we should instead follow everything from a general moral code. The same way a martial artist fights his battles from his general repertoire of moves. We shouldn't look at a situation as what God has planned, but what God would have us do instead. I believe that at the core of every Christian is the 10 commandments. I agree with Ps Rob, God has given us Guidelines and rules, but outside of that we don't know every little single thing in our future. Good thing God does. We know the obvious pointers, God wouldn't want us to kill anyone, and if he did it would be with a big booming voice in the OT, and such hasn't been the case in NT. God has been doing all the smiting in NT (Thank God).
I'm not saying we shouldn't pray and ask God for things which we are worried about. But we shouldn't fall into the dangerous trap which we constantly hunt for what ol' Ps Rob calls, The Dot.
