If first we come to recognise that "God is love" (1 John 4:8), and we also realise He knows what is in our best interest we should not hesitate to learn & pray for help in doing God's will.
“I, Jehovah, am your God, The One teaching you to benefit yourself, The One guiding you in the way you should walk. - Isaiah 48:17.
