In order to walk in discernment, it will require you to not only spend time with God, but it will also be necessary for you to recognize His voice when He speaks to you. When you are consistently spending time with Him in His Word and you see how God is guiding you, you will be able to know what your next moves should be. If by chance things don't go in the way that you anticipated, please don't get discouraged. God is still with you and always has a plan for your good and His glory.
