Today's world, though open to learn technology so that they can use Facebook and their mobile phones, are generally not open to personal instruction that directs their lives. Psalm 143:10 gives us a great example of our needed attitude to not only get along in life but to excel!
Because our lives meet all sorts of unknowns, we need a Personal Instructor that is there whenever we need. God not only knows us but is willing to patiently lead us. Psalm 143:10 gives us some key insights on how to personally relate to God.

"Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!" (Psalm 143:10)

"Teach me to do your will!”
(1): The condition of fallen humanity and my resulting bent towards sin demand the need for proper and constant instruction from God.
Ps 143:10a
"Teach me to do your will!”
(2): I am totally ignorant of what I need to know and desperately need God’s input and wisdom to guide me.
Ps 143:10a
"Teach me to do your will!”
(3): I tend to de-prioritize what God states as important and generally forget my past lessons, something which is getting worse as I age.
Ps 143:10a
"Teach me to do your will!”
(4): My confidence rests in the Bible–God’s divine Word, which towers far above all other sources of knowledge.
Ps 143:10a
"Teach me to do your will!”
(5): A strong and persistent urge to be better acquainted with the Word of God leads me closer to God and His will!
God is not only our Maker but Teacher! Instead of being suspicious about His ways, open your heart fully to His wisdom and knowledge of what is best for our lives, generally and personally.
