David had the right idea in Psalm 25:4-5 (NIV) when he prayed:

Show me your ways, Lord,
 teach me your paths. ⁵ Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Later in Psalm 122:1 (NIV) he said: I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Great advice for the New year.

Research, consult a friend, pray for guidance, find a local church and be part of it. Don’t look for the perfect one just pray “Show me your ways, Lord”, and The Holy Spirit will lead. (It does of course need you to pay attention and  act).
