Pacing, as though we're being chased, we make decisions without seeking God's face first. The outcome when things don't go our way makes us so devastated and we realize too late that it's not what God desired for us. God's guidance is what we need in every endeavour because He knows what's best for His children. We ought to walk in accordance to His perfect will for our lives and not rely on our own prowess.

 "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive" (Jeremiah 29:11‭-‬14 AMPC).

"Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding" (Proverbs 3:5 AMPC).

Consistently feed your mind with these and walk differently from now on. God bless you!
