Apparently from Scripture we see both a directive and a permissive will of God. A story (2 Kings 20:1-11) to this point illustrates. A good King in the Old Testament was told that God desired to take him home. To this he bitterly protested and God then healed him and gave him fifteen years more of life.
During these fifteen years he had a son, Manasseh, (2 Kings 21:1-9) who succeeded him on the throne who became of Israel’s worst kings and a shame to his father’s name. Far better for the good King to have quietly accepted the directive will of God.
God knows best and we are sure to walk in a greater success when we follow his direction and leading.
