Whenever we are at a point where it is unclear how the Lord would lead us on in our lives, it is so important, more than ever before, to just rest and enjoy Him. If we are not enjoying Him in peace, then we will always be confused about where He is leading us, because we will be seeking God's will as a thing to do or as a place to go, rather than as a Person to join ourselves to and follow. God never puts upon us more than we can bear, so if we feel overloaded, especially with "serving the Lord", then we should be careful to not cross over from serving in spirit into serving religiously:

Mat 11:28-30  Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

I used to think that taking the Lord's yoke meant to take on His work instead of our own, but I have come to see that it means to drop our burdensome labor, and to join ourselves with Him, so that He is joined to us as one so we can do everything in and through Him. The footnotes from the Recovery Version are very helpful:

Mat 11:28^1b  toil  Matt. 23:4;  Luke 11:46;  Acts 15:10
 This refers not only to the toil of striving to keep the commandments of the law and religious regulations but also to the toil of struggling to be successful in any work. Whoever toils thus is always heavily burdened. After the Lord extolled the Father, acknowledging the Father’s way and declaring the divine economy, He called this kind of people to come to Him for rest.

Mat 11:28²  rest
 Rest refers not only to being set free from the toil and burden under the law or religion or under any work or responsibility, but also to perfect peace and full satisfaction.

Mat 11:29²  yoke
 To take the Lord’s yoke is to take the will of the Father. It is not to be regulated or controlled by any obligation of the law or religion or to be enslaved by any work, but to be constrained by the will of the Father. The Lord lived such a life, caring for nothing but the will of His Father (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38). He submitted Himself fully to the Father’s will (26:39, 42). Hence, He asks us to learn from Him.

So then, what is the Father's will?

1Th 5:16  Always rejoice,
1Th 5:17  Unceasingly pray,
1Th 5:18  In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

So, the Father's will is that we remain enjoying Him, in constant fellowship with Him, and recognizing His loving sovereignty in ever single aspect of our lives.

Here's an excerpt from an e-mail I sent a friend in 2006:

It really is so important that we read the Bible regularly on our own. No matter how many messages we hear or how many spiritual books we read, nothing can replace directly hearing from the Lord through His word. Even something as simple as reading one chapter a day (which takes no more than just 5 to 10 minutes) will get you through the entire New Testament in just under 9 months. Reading one chapter a day will get you through the entire Bible in just three years and three months. That might seem slow, but compare how long you've been a Christian, and consider how many times you could have read through the New Testament or even the Bible if you had developed this habit. I'm not at all saying this to discourage anyone, but rather to encourage you that a little bit carried out consistently will go a long way in a surprisingly short amount of time. The most important technique for building consistency is to fix a regular time of day—every day—to read. If you don't establish this, then no reading plan will work. A good time for you might be while you're riding the metro to or from work each day, and on days you don't use the metro, to read for five minutes once you get home in the evening. The important thing is to find an activity that you do every single day, and then read the Bible during that time. (Reading before you go to bed at night is not always a good idea, since it's so easy to fall asleep .
