On Inversions of Divine Will
The movie trope of asking God to guide a person in some way is an over-used motif. Usually, God answers, and the person is confused, and the ending is left somewhat unclear other than there are mysteries in the universe since anything else would have to end on a note of "Yeah, God is real," which Hollywood doesn't usually like to venture into owing to the rampant Satanic plot lines they typically advance. (Think of all the horror movies that would just be reduced to demonic shit happening)
What is interesting to think about though, is that if God DID clearly answer someone, and they decided to try to "not do that". Indeed, Peter experiences this, and the Messiah tells him "Yep, you are gonna one day go where you don't wanna go with your arms stretched out," which begs an obvious question. If Peter had simply been like "Hey, yeah, okay, let's do this thing." then it might have been the case he would not have had to have been crucified. Instead, he keeps on screwing up in the presence of holiness, and then he gets rebuked and according to Roman tradition gets crucified upside down due to a feeling of "unworthiness".
That's a whole lot of stuff happening, isn't it? Usually, if something is turned upside-down relative to the perspective of God, we can conclude that it is on some level trying to defy God which implies an answer to our question--when people don't do what God suggests they ought to do, it turns everything tipsy-turvy crazy upside down until some manner of judgment overturns the upside-down-ness upright again. Entire nations can undergo this process and indeed, the Roman Empire went through about 300 to 400 years of chaos before it began to find stability and that was only found by incorporating Christianity as an official Emperor religion. That isn't to say that it was a good version of Christianity as such, just that it must have been acceptable enough before YHVH that it was allowed to exist. Of course, Rome would eventually topple anyway, but not as drastically as it was prior to its incorporation of Christianity as a kind of quasi nation religion.
All of this indicates that God's timeline is not our own, and when we are asked to do something by Him if we try to drag it out we might do so but only at our own peril. (As well as those around us) The Divine Will will be done, but the "how you get there" is highly related to people relating to mission statement of that Divine Will. A complete failure usually produces a war or wrath or often both. It's something to consider in the times in which we find ourselves immersed.
