How to know God’s will and waiting on Him

Waiting…something I’m not really good at. Listening…also something that I am weak in. So when you take the two and realize that together they comprise perhaps the largest component of knowing God’s will, it means my work is cut out for me. I will have to learn patience. I will have to surrender, and slow down and wait. How can I do that? I am not sure but that is what I am seeking to discover because I want to know and then do the will of God, unencumbered by the ideas and pressures of men. Simply obeying all that God would have me do, that is my desire.
