Many people pray without knowing what the will of God is. They pray based on the personal experience of others or themselves. They pray because someone told them they did it this way or that way.
Their beliefs are not based on the Word. People in this situation choose one of two paths. First, they come to God begging instead of believing. When the man came to Jesus, begging that he heal his son, Jesus responded that men seek a sign. However, he told the man to go home. His son was healed. The man left off begging and went the way of faith. He went home, and a servant met him with the good news his son was well.
The second path they take is they believe something that isn't His will. Confusing the will of God with your experiences or that of others will not get answers. In Mark 8:31-33, Peter rebukes Jesus for saying He's going to be crucified. He doesn't want Jesus to die. He's basing his beliefs on his own experiences and the circumstances rather than the Word of God.
People like Daniel, the three Hebrew children, and others knew God's will and fixed their eyes on that rather than their situations. If God says it, you believe it. If we don't know God's will, we need to find it. If we do know the will of God, we need to act on it.
