Chris.
The True Believer desires to be Truly Led By The Lord. This is the Promise of the Lord, Who is our Shepherd! When we read the Book of Acts in the New Testament, we see that the Servants of the Lord and the Churches were truly led by the Lord. There was clear direction in their lives. One of the Joys that I have had in formerly serving the Lord actively in Asia was endeavouring to be led by the Lord and to being sensitive to that leading.
