Perfect Will vs Permissive Will

Most Christians want to live and function in the will of God. They want to know who the right partner is, if they are in the right job, if they are in the right ministry. They want to know where to live, if they should have children, and how many children. Unfortunately, the majority of Christians often find themselves outside of His Will or perhaps in the permissive will of God. How do we align ourselves to His Perfect Will? And how do we redeem the time?
